noun
bitch; shameless woman
Derogatory term for a woman perceived as brazen, vulgar, or sexually shameless. Strongly offensive; avoid in polite conversation.
あの女は完全にあばずれだ。
That woman is a total bitch.
彼女はあばずれ呼ばわりされた。
She was called a shameless woman.
Ateji kanji form; rarely used in modern writing.
Loanword from English 'bitch', often used in similar derogatory contexts but can also refer to a promiscuous person regardless of gender. あばずれ is more specifically a vulgar Japanese term for a shameless woman.
Means 'loose woman' or 'easy woman', focusing on sexual promiscuity. あばずれ carries a broader sense of brazenness and vulgarity beyond just sexual behavior.
The exact derivation is uncertain. The kanji 阿婆擦れ is ateji, and the word is thought to be of native Japanese origin, possibly related to あばく (to expose) or あばれる (to act violently), but this is speculative.
