Definition
默认 as a verb means to silently consent or tacitly agree without explicit verbal expression. In computing and technical contexts, it is also commonly used as a noun or adjective meaning 'default (state/setting)' — for example, 默认值 ('default value') — but that usage falls outside the verb POS. Be aware of this dual usage: the verb is about passive acceptance, while the noun/adjective refers to a preset configuration.
v.
to tacitly approve or acquiesce without stating explicitly
