The Chinese word 过瘾 (guòyǐn) is a figurative compound formed by combining the character 过 (guò), meaning "to pass" or "to experience," with 瘾 (yǐn), meaning "addiction" or "intense craving." Together, they create an idiomatic expression that literally suggests "passing through or satisfying a craving," but is used to describe the feeling of great satisfaction, enjoyment, or thrilling fulfillment derived from an activity—such as eating delicious food, watching an exciting movie, or engaging in a deeply pleasurable hobby—implying that the experience was so satisfying it "scratched the itch" completely.
