It misses the extreme sense of urgency that is in 押っ取り刀. 5) "something done on the spur of the moment" makes it sound like something relatively casual, like impulse buying.</upd_refs> <upd_diff>@@ -6,0 +6,3 @@ +&lt;/k_ele&gt; +&lt;k_ele&gt; +&lt;keb&gt;おっとり刀&lt;/keb&gt; @@ -12,2 +15,5 @@ -&lt;gloss&gt;unprepared action&lt;/gloss&gt; -&lt;gloss&gt;something done on the spur of the moment&lt;/gloss&gt; +&lt;gloss&gt;rushing to respond to an emergency with sword in hand, not having had time to affix it at the waist&lt;/gloss&gt; +&lt;/sense&gt; +&lt;sense&gt; +&lt;pos&gt;&amp;n;&lt;/pos&gt; +&lt;gloss&gt;making great haste, having been caught off guard&lt;/gloss&gt;</upd_diff> </audit> <audit time="2013-03-30 12:01:57" stat="A"> <upd_uid>jwb</upd_uid> <upd_name>Jim Breen</upd_name> <upd_email>...address hidden...</upd_email> <upd_detl>I think it's clear from usage that the modern sense is far more common.</upd_detl> <upd_refs>GG5, etc.</upd_refs> <upd_diff>@@ -15,1 +15,2 @@ -&lt;gloss&gt;rushing to respond to an emergency with sword in hand, not having had time to affix it at the waist&lt;/gloss&gt; +&lt;gloss&gt;making great haste, having been caught off guard&lt;/gloss&gt; +&lt;gloss&gt;scurrying unprepared&lt;/gloss&gt; @@ -19,1 +20,1 @@ -&lt;gloss&gt;making great haste, having been caught off guard&lt;/gloss&gt; +&lt;gloss&gt;rushing to an emergency with sword in hand, not having had time to affix it at the waist)&lt;/gloss&gt;</upd_diff> </audit> <audit time="2013-03-30 12:30:59" stat="A" unap="true"> <upd_uid>richwarm</upd_uid> <upd_name>Richard Warmington</upd_name> <upd_email>...address hidden...</upd_email> <upd_detl>A stray right bracket.</upd_detl> <upd_diff>@@ -20,1 +20,1 @@ -&lt;gloss&gt;rushing to an emergency with sword in hand, not having had time to affix it at the waist)&lt;/gloss&gt; +&lt;gloss&gt;rushing to an emergency with sword in hand, not having had time to affix it at the waist&lt;/gloss&gt;</upd_diff> </audit> <audit time="2013-03-30 22:10:38" stat="A"> <upd_uid>rene</upd_uid> <upd_name>Rene Malenfant</upd_name> <upd_email>...address hidden...</upd_email> </audit> </history> </entry>
