We suggest that the \ensuremathρ meson is a dynamical gauge boson of a hidden local symmetry in the non-linear chiral Lagrangian. The origin of the \ensuremathρ-meson mass is understood as the Higgs mechanism of the hidden local symmetry. The low-energy dynamics of \ensuremathρ, \ensuremathπ, and matter fields, including the Kawarabayashi-Suzuki-Riazuddin-Fayyazuddin relation and \ensuremathρ-coupling universality, is consistently described in this new framework. The electromagnetic interaction can be introduced in a unique manner, which gives a successful explanation of \ensuremathρ dominance of the photon coupling.
