Alternate kanji form; also rare.
The exact derivation is uncertain. The kanji 軽 (light, frivolous) and 忽 (neglect, disregard) or 骨 (bone, but here likely used for its sound) suggest a meaning of treating something lightly or with contempt. The word is rare and appears mainly in older or literary contexts.
