使用说明

This is a highly technical term rarely found outside of biology, forensics, or advanced medical texts. It is almost always used to describe the lack of a specific biological process (putrefaction) rather than general cleanliness.

⚠️

常见错误

Learners may confuse it with 'antiseptic'; while related, 'nonputic' describes the state of the object itself, while 'antiseptic' often describes the agent that prevents the state.
