ぼやっと

boyatto

Hazy, blurry, vague (vision, thoughts, or outlines)

A vague, fuzzy glow with no sharp edges — city lights seen from far away, a lamp through a steamed-up window, or headlights in heavy fog. Suggests obscured or unclear visibility.

💡Looking at the city from a mountaintop on a foggy night — 'The city lights glowed boyatto through the mist below.'
