noun
deep pool in a river
Refers to a deep, still part of a river, often where the current slows and water collects. Used in geographical names and nature descriptions.
川の瀞には大きな魚が潜んでいる。
Big fish are lurking in the deep pool of the river.
この辺りの瀞は水が澄んでいて美しい。
The deep pools around here have clear water and are beautiful.
The kanji 瀞 is composed of 氵 (water) and 静 (quiet), suggesting still water. The reading とろ is of native Japanese origin, likely related to the idea of a slow, stagnant part of a river.
