Bái diàn fēng shì yī zhǒng zhǎng báibān de pífūbìng.

Tips

register
癜 is a bound medical term and does not stand alone. It appears in fixed disease names like 白癜风 (vitiligo) and 紫癜 (purpura).

Components

radical
疒 nè
sickness; illness radical
The sickness radical 疒 wraps the top and left, marking 癜 as a disorder — here a skin disease. Same radical as 疹 rash and 癣 ringworm.
phonetic
殿 diàn
palace hall; rear
Inside sits 殿 (palace hall), supplying the sound diàn directly with no tone change. It contributes no 'palace' meaning — it is purely the phonetic tag inside the sickness radical for this skin-patch word.
