Meaning

Primary

To Be In Disorder

Alternatives

To Be In Disarray, To Be Disordered, To Be Disturbed

Word Type

intransitive verb, ichidan verb

Explanation

The kanji means riot, but this verb version word doesn't really mean "to riot." It's more like to be in disorder. But if you think about it, when things are rioting and crazy, they definitely are in disorder, so you can think of it that way. You can differentiate this from the future word 乱す because with れる you know it is rare for it to be like this. You aren't doing it, but it just happens on occasion (rarely) so you take advantage of it.

Reading

みだれる

Explanation

When everything is in disorder it's finally your chance! You run to the bar, break the windows, and grab all the mead (みだ) you can carry.
