Bokef Japanese Word Origin Japanese Translation [cracked]
The Boke was not merely stupid; he was the "dull sound." He was the one whose thoughts had been pounded soft. He misinterpreted the obvious, his mind wandered into the fog, and his logic was delightfully broken. He was the "victim" of his own haze.
The character 惚 (as in 惚ける, bokeru ) is a phono-semantic compound: the radical 心 (heart/mind) indicates a mental state, while the phonetic component 忽 suggests suddenness or vagueness. bokef japanese word origin japanese translation
