荒っぽい
あらっぽい · arappoi · JLPT N1 · i-adj
rough
🪨 荒 (wild, harsh) + っぽい (tends to be, -ish) = wild-ish, so rough or rude
荒 means wild or harsh. っぽい attaches to a word to mean it tends toward that quality. Something wild-ish is rough in texture or rude in manner.
荒 — grass radical 艹 + 巟 (phonetic, 'vast/wild')
A semantic-phonetic compound: the grass radical 艹 on top gives the meaning of overgrown vegetation, while 巟 below supplies the sound and a sense of vast wildness. Originally it described land covered in wild weeds, then extended to 'wasteland,' 'desolate,' and figuratively 'absurd' or 'famine.'
