欲張る
Japanese
Lua error in Module:kanjitab at line 190: Readings for 3 kanji are given, but this word has only 2 kanji.
Etymology
Analyzable as a compound of 欲 (yoku, “desire; greed, avarice”) + 張る (haru, “o become or to make something tense or taut; figuratively, to hold something intently”).[1][2][3][4] The haru changes to baru as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Appears in texts from roughly 1763.[1]
Ultimately, likely a shift from older synonym 欲ぼる (yokuboru),[1][4] dating to 1275.[1]
Pronunciation
