reading room
📖 阅览室 = read + view + room
阅 means read, 览 means view or survey, 室 means room. A room for reading and browsing — what English calls a reading room. 间 is the measure word.
室 — roof 宀 + arrive 至
A semantic compound: 宀 (roof/house) over 至 (to arrive). The image is a place one arrives at and stays in — an inner room. From 'inner chamber' the meaning broadened to 'room' generally, and by extension to specialized rooms like an office or laboratory.
