How it is used
- Specifically for a wound or cut closing up and healing - 伤口慢慢愈合了 (shāngkǒu mànman yùhé le) the wound slowly healed.
- Narrower than 恢复 (huīfù, to recover generally) or 治好 (zhìhǎo, to cure): 愈合 is the physical knitting-together of broken tissue, often used figuratively for emotional 'wounds' too.
- The subject is the wound (伤口), not the person.
