Meanings and usage
adverb: just; exactly, just now
剛, 剛剛
剛, 剛剛
Wiktionary lists two etymologies for 剛 (adjective 'firm/hard/strong' vs adverb 'just/exactly'), both sharing the Teochew reading gang1, so it is unclear which sense this headword targets; the adverb 'just' sense was picked as primary since 剛才 already covers 'just now' separately.
