• 漢字の分解: 奇 (ki) — strange, odd, wondrous; 抜 (batsu/nu) — outstanding, to stand out, surpass

意味

Eccentric; novel; unconventional; strikingly original. Describes ideas, designs, or behaviour that are unusually creative and far outside the mainstream norm.

A na-adjective describing something that stands out sharply due to its originality or unusualness. Unlike 変 (strange/weird), 奇抜 often carries a note of admiration for creativity, though it can also imply excessive unconventionality. Frequently used in art, design, fashion, and the world of ideas. Nuance shifts between positive (daringly creative) and mildly critical (too eccentric) based on context.
