忽悠
hū you · HSK 7
to flutter
🚩 忽 = sudden + 悠 = drift/swing; together the sudden swing of a flickering, fluttering motion
Sound hook: hu-you runs like the English hooey, a wobbly back-and-forth word. Pairs the sudden sense of 忽 with the drifting swing of 悠, landing on rocking, swaying, flickering lights on water, or a flag fluttering.
