1. 1/ræʃ/(皮膚)疹子、紅疹;(形容詞)輕率的、魯莽的

    A rash is a group of red, itchy, or irritated spots on the skin, often caused by an allergy, heat, or illness — 'he broke out in a rash after eating .' As an adjective, 'rash' means doing something too quickly, without thinking carefully first — a 'rash decision' is one made in a hurry, often one you might regret later. The two meanings are unrelated in origin; they just happen to be spelled the same.
