English meaning : secret [Han]

Russian meaning[s]: Ми (фамилия); [bì mì] см. 秘

Comments: In Modern Chinese the 秘密 character is usually written (through distortion) as 秘. The reading mì is influenced by 密 (because of the widespread compound 秘密 'secret'). In Viet. bí 'secret' is literary, but the colloquial bí 'too difficult to understand' may also go back to the same Chinese word.
