English Explanation

A sign, indication, or symptom, often suggesting that something bad or significant is about to happen. It is similar to 気配 or 兆し but is typically used in more formal or technical contexts like medicine, economics, or science. Common examples include "病気の兆候" (symptoms of an illness) or "景気回復の兆候" (signs of economic recovery). Example: "A sudden drop in temperature is a sign of the coming storm." (急激な気温の低下は、嵐が近づいている兆候だ。)
