伤害 (shāng hài) means to hurt, harm, or injure, covering both physical and emotional harm. 伤 means wound or injury and 害 means harm or damage. Together they form a versatile verb (伤害某人, to hurt someone) and noun (造成伤害, to cause harm; 减少伤害, to reduce harm). Emotional harm (心理伤害, psychological harm) is as common a usage as physical injury (身体伤害). A related word is 受伤 (shòu shāng, to be injured).
