What 廢 means
廢 covers disuse, abolition, decline, and uselessness; the compound decides which. 廢除 describes abolishing something; in Cantonese, 廢柴 is slang for a good-for-nothing person.
The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, presented in 121 CE, explains 廢 as a collapsed house. Its meaning later widened beyond that concrete image.
Neutral in formal compounds; sharp when aimed at a person.
Is 廢物 an insult? Yes—when it labels a person, it is blunt.
