Meaning

Primary

Congeal

Alternatives

Freeze, Absorbed In

Mnemonic

If you try to turn something into ice while having doubts, it will just congeal instead. It will freeze, but it will get kinda yucky too. Your doubts will affect the ice-making process, so try not to be so worried and unsure next time you want normal ice.

Hints

Imagine looking over water in an ice cube tray. You aren't sure if they'll turn out alright, and you doubt whether ice is even a thing. As you think this, the water congeals and freezes into gross shapes.

Readings

On’yomi

ぎょう

Kun’yomi

こ, こご

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You always end up congealing your gyoza (ぎょう) this way. You want to freeze your leftover gyoza so you can enjoy it later, but you doubt it will turn out all right and it always congeals in a gross, half-frozen gyoza block. Yuck!

Hints

Picture frozen, congealed gyoza. Do you want to eat that? I didn't think so.
