Further thought on the context, the meanings of the kanji, and the examples cited in the wiki article resulted in this conclusion.

Again, I may be way off base . . .

I may not be understanding the Japanese wiki explanation correctly.  I have an example of this word in use on page 135 of Takemiya Yuyuko's "Golden Time 2", the book I've been working on for the past six months.  In the context there, the character is feeling quite defeated, and is wondering whether to continue with what she is doing.
