Headword 1一を聞いて十を知る
Reading 1いちをきいてじゅうをしる
Part-of-speechn
Referencehttp://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/analects.htm

the actual quote from the analects appears to be:

The Master said to Tsze-kung, "Which do you consider superior, yourself or Hui?"
Tsze-kung replied, "How dare I compare myself with Hui? Hui hears one point and knows all about a subject; I hear one point, and know a second."
The Master said, "You are not equal to him. I grant you, you are not equal to him."

which matches what the kokugo dictionaries have:
"to understand everything from only one part"
"to be perceptive"

Commentare we sure that "poral" is english? it's not in any dictionary i checked, and wikipedia doesn't have it either.

seems like it might be a bastardized version of porous.

other headwords from koj & daijs. ポーラー seems to be the most popular

Editorial Comment Gakken says it's from "poral". I wonder if it's 和製? ポーラー most commonly means "polar".
