騒ぎ
さわぎ · sawagi · JLPT N3 · noun
tumult
📢 sawagi: noun form of sawagu (to make noise) — the noise itself
騒 pairs 馬 (horse) with a part once meaning to scratch or stir: a horse being agitated, hence commotion. 騒ぎ is the noun stem of the verb 騒ぐ, so it names the fuss that the verb makes. Same kanji as in 騒音 (souon, noise).
