How it's used
This character is almost exclusively found in compound words like 軼事 or 軼聞. It functions as a morpheme rather than a standalone word in modern Cantonese, so you will rarely hear it used by itself in conversation. It carries a slightly literary or formal tone, often referring to stories that have been passed down informally rather than through official historical records.
