noun, noun or participle which takes 'suru', intransitive verb
Formal, literary term for a temporary stay, often in a place away from home. Rare in modern conversation; 滞在 (たいざい) is the common equivalent.
彼は京都に一ヶ月逗留した。
He sojourned in Kyoto for a month.
Common, neutral word for 'stay' or 'sojourn'. 逗留 is a rare, literary synonym.
The kanji 逗 (stop, linger) and 留 (stay, remain) combine to express a temporary stay. The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the word is a Sino-Japanese compound.
