糾弾

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 糾弾(きゅうだん) means strongly denouncing wrongdoing or injustice.
• Basic usage: It is used for openly condemning actions regarded as wrong, such as misuse of public funds or abuse of power.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Stronger condemnation than 批判
  • 批判(ひはん) also broadly covers identifying problems and evaluating them. 糾弾 more prominently conveys forceful blame for wrongdoing.
• を marks what is condemned
  • In 不正利用を厳しく糾弾した, misuse is the target of condemnation. 厳しく conveys its severity.
