Meanings and usage

adjective: evil, wicked, treacherous, to commit adultery, to rape
姦

The general-Chinese etymology carries multiple senses spanning adjective (evil/treacherous) and verb (adultery, rape) uses under the same reading, and a separate Hokkien-specific vulgar etymology exists alongside it, making a single pos/gloss choice uncertain.
