Definition
防护 (fánghù) means 'to protect' specifically from harm, damage, or danger — it emphasizes preventive or defensive measures (e.g., 防护服 protective suit). It's more targeted than 保护 (bǎohù, general care/safeguarding) and less militaristic than 防御 (fángyù, defense against attack). 防护 is common for health, safety, and equipment protection.
