意味

To bounce back; to repel; to deflect; to reject forcefully. Used for both physical bouncing and figurative resistance.

A Group 1 (godan) compound transitive verb from 跳ねる (haneru, to spring/bounce) + 返す (kaesu, to return/send back). Physically describes an object rebounding from a surface. Figuratively describes resisting pressure, rejecting criticism, or defeating opponents. The sense of active, forceful repulsion distinguishes it from passive resistance — the subject actively drives something back.
