The word **属实** is a compound verb formed by combining two distinct morphemes: **属** (shǔ), which means "to belong to" or "to be in the category of," and **实** (shí), which means "truth," "reality," or "fact." When combined, the literal sense is "to belong to the truth" or "to be in the category of facts." This structure creates a meaning that is more than the sum of its parts, specifically "to be true," "to be verified," or "to be confirmed as factual." It functions as a predicate, often used in formal or official contexts to affirm that something accords with reality, as in "经调查，情况属实" ("After investigation, the situation is confirmed to be true").
