丸諳記 "Indiscriminate memorizing" ? - ファブリス - 2009-01-04
Came accross this one on a DS kanji game. Since it involves memory, thought it could be interesting. Any idea what "indiscriminate memorizing" mean ?
丸諳記 【まるあんき】 (n) indiscriminate memorizing

Sounds like what a person's brain does on a regular basis, when not intentionally trying to remember.

My Sanseido dictionary says it means "learn the (whole) lesson by heart; rote."
The definition using "indiscriminate" doesn't seem very good, but I'm guessing they mean learning a full lesson without breaking it down into (discriminated) small portions first.
Recall that the kanji for "maru" basically means full so a simple literal translation would probably be: full rote memorization.

Draggs comment is what I would support. まる is used in the same way in Shinchan very often as まるだし means to "show you whole butt" or "show your butt completely".

from the green goddess:
まるあんき【丸暗記】
indiscriminate learning by heart 〜する learn 《a whole page》 by heart;
learn [get, have] 《the text of a sutra》 by rote
彼はその詩をそっくりまる暗記していた
He had learned the whole poem off by heart

From the 類語辞典 in mac os x:
「棒暗記」「丸暗記」は、内容を理解しないで字句のみを覚えること。

Rote...you don't have any special way to remember it, you're simply memorising it. I read a thing about ways to learn vocab, and the writer used the word 丸暗記 a lot. That's the meaning I got out of it.
