"さらう" meaning in Japanese

See さらう in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: [sa̠ɾa̠ɯ̟] Forms: sarau [romanization], さらい [stem], さらった [past]
Etymology: /sarafu/ → /sarau/ A surface analysis suggests a derivation from さら (sara) + ふ (fu, classical auxiliary indicating repeated or ongoing action or state). The さら (sara) portion appears to be cognate with the sara in さらり (sarari, “smoothly; cleanly, clearly”) and さらさら (sarasara, “smoothly; agreeably; easily, without hindrance”), in turn probably cognate with 更 (sara, “unused, new, pure; natural consequence; obvious outcome; completely, wholly”). Dated from at least the Kamakura period, when the term appears in the 名語記 (Myōgoki, literally “name-word record”), a ten-volume dictionary completed in 1269 CE.
