    Explanation

    The Japanese verb '外れる (はずれる)' has two primary meanings. The first is 'to detach' or 'to come off', referring to something physically separating from where it was attached. For example: the button came off「ボタンが外れた」(ぼたんがはずれた). The second meaning is 'to miss', often used in contexts where something does not meet expectations or targets. For example: the arrow missed the target「矢が的を外れた」(やがまとをはずれた). This verb can also be used metaphorically, such as when plans or predictions do not go as expected. For example: the weather forecast was wrong「天気予報が外れた」(てんきよほうがはずれた).
