expression, godan verb (-ru, irregular)
have a strong pull; have good traction
Used literally for physical pulling force or figuratively for influence, appeal, or drawing power. Often refers to something that attracts or pulls effectively.
この掃除機は良い引きがあるので、カーペットのゴミがよく取れる。
This vacuum cleaner has a strong pull, so it picks up dirt from the carpet well.
彼の提案は
His proposal had a strong appeal, and many people agreed.
Similar meaning but uses 強い (strong) instead of 良い (good). 良い引きがある emphasizes the quality of the pull, while 引きが強い directly states the pull is strong.
Phrase composed of 良い (good) + 引き (pull, from 引く) + がある (there is). The exact origin is uncertain; it likely developed from literal descriptions of pulling force and extended to figurative uses.
