用法
- Bound verb morpheme literally meaning "to weave/knit", but its most common modern use has drifted to organizational meaning.
- 组织 (zǔzhī) "to organize" / "an organization" is by far the most frequent compound and has nothing literally to do with cloth: 组织活动 "organize an activity", 一个组织 "an organization".
- 纺织 (fǎngzhī) "spinning and weaving/textiles" keeps the literal sense (纺织业 "textile industry"), while 编织 (biānzhī) "to weave, knit" is used both literally (编织毛衣 "knit a sweater") and figuratively (编织梦想 "weave dreams").
