直属

直属 means 'directly affiliated' or 'directly under the authority of.' It is commonly used to describe an organization, department, or unit that is directly controlled by a higher-level entity, such as a government agency or company headquarters.

The character 直 (zhí) means 'straight' or 'direct,' and 属 (shǔ) means 'to belong' or 'to be part of.' Together, they convey the idea of something being directly connected or under the jurisdiction of another entity.

直属 is often used in formal contexts, especially in business, government, and organizational structures. For example, a directly affiliated branch of a company would operate under the direct management of the parent company, rather than through an intermediary layer.
