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

Etymology

Phono-semantic compound:

(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 (호, to call) but carries a stronger nuance of pleading or earnest appeal.
