Bōtto Suru (ぼーっとする - "Spacing Out")

Bōtto Suru

Recently, I have been finding myself in a state referred to as 'bōtto suru' (ぼーっとする) a lot.

The expression 'bōtto suru' describes a state of being in a daze, or being lost in thought.

It is believed that the 'bō' (ぼー) in 'bōtto suru' comes from the terms 'bonyari' (ぼんやり - "absent-minded") or 'bōzen' (呆然 - "dumbfounded"), and it is used like an onomatopoeia by adding a long sound.

In addition, 'suru' (する) means "to do" or "to become," the literal meaning of 'bōtto suru' is "to become absent-minded."

I have to be careful not to become the state of 'bō' while driving to work every day.
