Synonyms[edit]

Compounds[edit]

Etymology 4[edit]

trad. 繃/綳
simp. 绷
alternative forms 崩
嘣

Some compounds are attested at least since Ming dynasty. May be related to 綁／绑 (bǎng) (in 緊綁綁／紧绑绑) used in Yuan era plays.

Mandarin dialects generally use reduplicated 邦 (bāng) instead (e.g. in 硬邦邦 (yìngbāngbāng)), also spelled 梆 (bāng) or 幫／帮 (bāng). See also Hokkien 迸 (piàng) (in 硬迸迸 (ngē-piàng-piàng), 緊迸迸／紧迸迸 (kín-piàng-piàng), etc.).

very; terribly
Same as above, but without reduplication. Used prepositively in a few collocations. Most Standard Chinese dictionaries nominally assign the bèng reading to this sense and merge it with Etymology 3, but Northeastern Mandarin and Xiang dialects where it is actually used have the dark level tone for it (corresponding to Beijing Mandarin bēng). See also 迸 (bèng, “(dialectal Mandarin) very dry; crisp; brittle”).

Pronunciation[edit]

Definitions[edit]

繃

  1. (chiefly Wu, Cantonese, dialectal Mandarin, in reduplication) intensifier used in ideophones
  2. (Wu, Xiang, dialectal Mandarin) very; terribly
