• to cry out loudly, to appeal, to call out;
  • to invoke, to implore;

Etymology

Phono-semantic compound:

竹 (죽, bamboo) – semantic component; appears as a radical in words related to sounds, writing, and tools

龥 (부르짖을 유) – phonetic component, provides sound and reinforces the meaning of calling out

Usage in Korean

Rare in everyday Korean and Japanese usage; mainly seen in Sino-Korean compounds such as 呼籲 (호유).

呼籲 (호유) — to appeal, to call upon

籲請 (유청) — to request earnestly, to appeal to

籲告 (유고) — to proclaim, to announce with appeal

Additional notes

More common in modern Chinese political or formal contexts, especially in phrases like 向人民呼籲 ("to appeal to the people").

Shares meaning and usage domain with 呼 (호, to call) but carries a stronger nuance of pleading or earnest appeal.
