What 肽 means
A technical word for chains joined by peptide bonds.
English peptide is dated to 1906, from German peptid in 1902, coined as protein chemistry took shape. 肽 is the Chinese counterpart: invented for that science, not inherited from classical vocabulary.
多肽 names a longer chain, 肽键 names the bond, and 氨基酸 are the amino-acid units. Copy it from the palette above if you need the exact character.
Scientific and technical; alone, 肽 signals biology or chemistry.
Read it as a term before a social cue.
