Definition
旷 has two main families of meaning. One describes physical or mental spaciousness: a vast open space (旷野) or a carefree, open state of mind (心旷神怡). The other describes neglecting or skipping duties, especially in compounds like 旷课 (skip class) and 旷工 (miss work). The POS here is stative verb, which fits the first family; the second family is more of a transitive verb and may need a separate entry.
