English Explanation

The reading ちょうらく uses the standard on'yomi for both 凋 (ちょう) and 落 (らく). 凋 means to wither or decline, and 落 means to fall. Wrong readings like ていらく mispronounce 凋, and ちょうおち incorrectly mixes readings. It signifies a significant decline in power, prosperity, or glory, leading to decay or downfall.

日本語解説

凋 (ちょう) も 落 (らく) も標準的な音読み。勢いや栄華が衰え、落ちぶれることを意味します。かつての地位や影響力を失うことです。
