确诊

què zhěn · HSK 7

to make a definite diagnosis

🩺 确 = confirm/certain + 诊 = diagnose; together: confirm the diagnosis

确 carries the sense of certain or definite, and 诊 means to diagnose or examine a patient. Stacked, they mean a doctor has confirmed exactly what the illness is — a definite, settled diagnosis rather than a guess.
