wero /ˈwɛrə /noun (plural same) NZA challenge, originally one issued by an armed Maori warrior: the seminars were essentially a wero to the students...- Advancing towards them is a warrior with full moko; the wero is intense.
- A wero can be threatening and punishing but a koha is more likely to be accepted as a peaceful gesture.
- There were some stunningly ignorant comments on the wero, asking why important visitors to New Zealand were greeted by "a Maori New Zealander jumping around half naked".
