Meaning

Primary

Extremity

Alternatives

Furthest Point, End, Outskirts, Outer Limits, Edge, Miss, Failure

Word Type

noun, suffix

Explanation

The kanji 外 alone means "outside." This word means extremity. How can you remember this? Just think of the れ as a "ray of sunshine." Where you are, in the extremity of space, even the れs of the sun cannot be seen. So, when 外 is combined with れ just think of this.

Reading

はずれ

Explanation

Let's continue the previous story: You're off in the extremity of space and your friend is running low on Vitamin D. He has (はず) to get some sun れs on his skin! How's that supposed to happen with those spacesuits on, though?

Context
