Literary kanji compound; rarely used in modern Japanese. The kanji 迂 means 'roundabout' or 'foolish', and 愚 means 'foolish' or 'ignorant'.
Compound of 迂 (roundabout, foolish) and 愚 (foolish, ignorant). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; it is a literary term that has fallen out of common use.
