Sozoro is not only about distraction
Japanese sozoro can describe an unsettled mind, but also a state without a clear reason. The expression sozoro-aruki, a purposeless stroll, connects to the latter meaning. Two apparently different feelings share the same word.
A word for wandering and a word for distraction meet in one entry.
