Both hands, from moro (諸, "both, all, together") and te (手, "hand"). Marks a technique performed with both hands or arms working together, as opposed to one-handed (katate, 片手) variants.
Usage context: Appears as a prefix in formal Kodokan names: morote-gari (two-hand reap, the judo counterpart of the wrestling/BJJ double leg), morote-seoi-nage (two-handed shoulder throw, as opposed to ippon-seoi-nage) and morote-jime (two-hand choke). Also used in karate (morote-uke, morote-tsuki) and aikido (morote-dori, a two-hands-on-one-wrist grab).
