安っぽい
やすっぽい · yasuppoi · JLPT N1 · i-adj
cheap-looking
Yasu (cheap) + ppoi (-looking): 'cheap-looking' is literally the word's build, so it reads as cheap-looking, not truly cheap.
安 means cheap or inexpensive, and っぽい attaches to nouns to mean 'has the look or feel of'. Together they mark something that looks cheap, often in a tacky, tawdry way.
安 — roof 宀 + woman 女
A pictographic compound showing a woman 女 under a roof 宀, suggesting safety and tranquility at home. The original meaning 'peaceful, calm, safe' has remained stable since oracle bone script. It later extended to verbs like 'to settle' or 'to install'.
