Kanji Detail for 嘍 - "noisy, verbose"

嘍

  • Meaning

    嘍 means "noisy, verbose."

    1. Noisy - Clamorous.

    2. Verbose - Long-winded; tedious.

  • Origin of 嘍

    口, the mouth, beside 婁, which lends the reading rō: a clamour of voices. It survives almost solely in 嘍囉, the rabble of underlings behind a bandit chief — a word Japanese took from Chinese fiction rather than built for itself.

    How to remember it: Mouths 口 all going at once behind the boss — the rabble.
