JLPT N1Kanji compounds
網羅
Readingもうらmoura
- Meaning
- 関係する事項を残らず取り入れること
- Explanation
- 「網羅(もうら)」 means to take in every single related item without exception, used as in 「全分野を網羅する」. It is the opposite of c3 "extracting only the important points," with the core being gathering everything without omission. c1 "setting a net" is an error drawn by the literal meaning of the character 「網」; in modern usage it is not used in the sense of catching things.
- Examples
- 全分野を網羅する
Original Japanese explanation
「網羅(もうら)」は関係する事項を一つ残らずすべて取り入れることで、「全分野を網羅する」のように使う。c3の「重要な点だけ抜き出す」とは逆で、漏れなく集める点が核心。c1の「網を仕掛ける」は「網」の字義に引きずられた誤りで、現代では物を捕る意では使わない。
