わざと
わざと · wazato · JLPT N3 · adverb
on purpose
🎯 waza = a judo technique; a waza is never an accident, it's done on purpose
わざ (技/業) means a deliberate technique or deed, the same waza called out in judo and karate. Add と and it becomes an adverb: doing something like a planned move, so on purpose. Often it's used for mischief, as in わざと負けた, lost on purpose.
