About this kanji

The kanji 「属」 primarily means "to belong" or "to affiliate with." It is often used as a noun, describing relationships and connections, but can also function in verbs related to attachment or subordination. Common compounds include 金属 (きんぞく), which means "metal," and 所属 (しょぞく), meaning "belonging to a group or organization." Another example is 付属 (ふぞく), which refers to something being attached or linked.
