also: こうず
noun
good fortune; good deed; curious matter
A somewhat literary noun that can mean a fortunate event, a virtuous act, or something intriguing. The 'curious' sense is less common and often appears in set phrases like 好事家 (こうずか, a dilettante or person with unusual tastes).
彼の成功は単なる好事ではなく、努力の結果だ。
His success is not mere good fortune but the result of hard work.
好事、門を出でず。
Good deeds are known even without going out of the gate. (proverb)
好事家の間では、その骨董品は高値で取引されている。
Among connoisseurs, that antique is traded at a high price.
Composed of 好 (good, like) and 事 (thing, matter). The reading こうず is an older, less common variant.
