ようらん combines the on'yomi 揺 (よう) meaning "swing" and 籃 (らん) meaning "basket." The kanji literally form "swinging basket," which is a cradle. ゆるらん incorrectly applies the kun'yomi for 揺, and ようかん misreads 籃. It metaphorically refers to the birthplace or earliest stage of something, like infancy.
ようらんは、揺(よう)と籃(らん)の音読みで、「揺りかご」を意味します。「ゆるらん」は揺の読み間違い、「ようかん」は籃の誤読です。物事の始まりや発祥の地、あるいは幼年期や初期段階を指す言葉です。
