	Comments:	Quite a number of kanji derivations are non-obvious, but unless I am fundamentally misunderstanding something, this meaning is blatantly the exact opposite of what the kanji say. I don't recall seeing any other example so counter-intuitive. I think a note about how it came to have such a meaning (if known) would reassure readers that the definition is not a mistake.

	Comments:	I'm not sure what can be added as an etymological note. Deriving meanings from the kanji is always risky.

	Comments:	I am puzzled by this word. 大 + 味 would appear to mean the exact opposite of "tasteless, flat-tasting, dull". Goo dictionary gives the same definition though. If it's correct then perhaps an etymological note would help, because it has a strong appearance of being wrong.
