固定

固定 means 'fixed' or 'permanent,' indicating something that is not changeable or movable. It often refers to a stable condition, unchanging state, or something set in place.

The character 固 (gù) originally meant 'solid' or 'firm,' while 定 (dìng) means 'to fix' or 'to decide.' Together, they convey the idea of something being settled or established, not subject to change.

固定 is commonly used in contexts like fixed prices, fixed positions, or fixed schedules. It is also used in technical and formal language, such as in engineering or legal documents. In daily life, it might describe a fixed job, fixed cost, or a fixed plan.
