露天

露天 means 'open-air' or 'outdoors,' typically referring to a space not covered by a roof or shelter. It is often used to describe areas where people can be exposed to the elements, such as in parks, stadiums, or outdoor events.

The character 露 (lù) originally meant 'to expose' or 'to show,' and later came to mean 'dew' or 'moisture.' 天 (tiān) means 'sky' or 'heaven.' Together, they suggest something exposed to the sky, hence 'open-air.'

露天 is commonly used in contexts like outdoor activities, performances, or architecture. For example, an open-air theater or an open-air market. It is also used metaphorically to describe situations that are not concealed or hidden.
