Notes on Usage
- The word "doanh" is considered archaic in modern Vietnamese. Its adjectival meaning ("full") is rarely used in everyday conversation today and is mostly found in classical literature or fixed phrases.
- Its nominal meaning ("military camp") is also old-fashioned. The more common modern word for a military camp is "doanh trại" or simply "trại."
- In contemporary language, "doanh" is most frequently encountered as a root in compound words, especially those related to business (e.g., - enterprise, - revenue, - sales figures). However, in those compounds, the original meaning of "full/abundant" is often not directly transparent.
- full; abundant
