柔软

• 병음: róu ruǎn
• 한자 분석: 柔 = 木 + 矛 (pliable wood); 软 = 车 (vehicle/cart) + 欠 (lacking/deficient) — a wheel without rigidity, hence soft

뜻

부드럽고 유연하다; 말랑하다

Used for physical textures of fabrics, surfaces, bodies, and materials, as well as metaphorically for a gentle and accommodating disposition. 柔软 emphasises physical pliability more than 柔和 (which emphasises sensory gentleness). Common in product descriptions, fitness, and material science contexts.
