CEFR C2

wright

Translation

職人 / 製作者 / 作り手

Meaning

Wright means a maker or builder, but today it is rare as a standalone word and is mostly seen in compounds such as playwright, shipwright, and wheelwright. The main learner trap is spelling: wright sounds exactly like right, write, and rite.

Examples

  • その博物館には、昔の車輪職人の道具が展示されています。
    The museum displays tools used by an old wheelwright.
  • 彼女は受賞歴のある劇作家です。
    She is an award-winning playwright.
