使い方のコツ

This word is extremely rare and primarily used in technical, biological, or architectural contexts to describe self-contained protection systems. Note that while it ends in '-ious' (usually an adjective suffix), in this specific test context it functions as a verb meaning the act of covering.

⚠️

よくある間違い

Learners often assume this is an adjective because of the suffix; however, in this specific usage, it is treated as a transitive verb. Do not confuse it with 'autotelic,' which refers to an activity having an end or purpose in itself.
