Definition
高手 (gāoshǒu) means 'expert, master' and is the most common, everyday word for someone exceptionally skilled, especially in sports, games, or practical fields. It is less formal and narrower than 专家 (zhuānjiā, academic/professional specialist). 行家 (hángjia) emphasizes hands-on experience in a trade, while 内行 (nèiháng) means an 'insider' with deep knowledge of a field.
