孤零零

• 병음: gū líng líng
• 한자 분석: 孤 = 子 (child) + 瓜 (hanging gourd) — a solitary, unattached individual; 零 = 雨 (rain) + 令 (small falling drops) — something small and stray, left over; doubled for expressive intensity

뜻

외따로 덩그러니; 홀로 고립된

孤零零 is an expressive reduplication that heightens the sense of stark, poignant isolation. More vividly visual and emotionally evocative than 孤单 or 孤立. Often used to describe a single object standing alone in an empty landscape — a lone tree, a solitary lamp, a single house — or a person left entirely on their own. Common in literary and descriptive prose.
