Myoshu, or spelled out with the long vowels, "Myooshu", means an "extraordinary", "excellent", "magnificent" move, and such a move is unexpected by most people when it is made. The Chinese pinyin for the same word is "Miao4 Shou3".
Trying to make every stone a most efficient move would naturally leave some thinness in one's own shapes.[1] When shapes become thin, one has to struggle to save these weak stones. A myoshu move is even better than a tesuji move, which is more local.
