じ 字 Furigana
Kanji 儼 serious, untouched, solemnly Related words 厳おごそ か 厳か is a more common word for solemn or dignified, used in everyday contexts, while 儼乎 is literary and archaic.
厳きび しい 厳しい means strict or severe, a common adjective; 儼乎 implies a more formal, imposing gravity rather than strictness.
Etymology The exact derivation is uncertain; the kanji 儼 (solemn, dignified) and 乎 (an archaic auxiliary character) combine to form a literary expression for gravity or sternness.
