Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Compound of 狡い (zurui, “tricky, cunning, devious”) + 賢い (kashikoi, “smart, clever, intelligent”).[1][2][3][4] The kashikoi changes to gashikoi as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
The spelling ずる賢い is more common than 狡賢い, due to the 狡 character falling into disuse.
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]狡賢い • (zurugashikoi) -i (adverbial 狡賢く (zurugashikoku))
