Meanings

1

noun

way; method; means

Refers to a way of doing something, often used in set phrases like 詮が無い (it's no use / there's no way).

2

noun

effect; result; worth; benefit; use

Often used in negative contexts to express futility or lack of effect. Overlaps with sense 1; the distinction is subtle and both are often covered by the same set phrases.
