Meanings and usage

adverb: nearly; almost, probably; perhaps
殆

This literary character has several divergent classical senses (in peril, weary, probably, nearly) and the page does not indicate which one is tied to the standalone Teochew reading, so 'nearly/almost' was chosen as the most common surviving modern usage.
