売店
ばいてん · baiten · JLPT N2 · noun
shop
🏪 売 (sell) + 店 (shop) = a shop where things are sold, like a kiosk stand
Read ばいてん (baiten): 売 is the 'bai' of 売る (to sell), and 店 means shop. Together they name a small sales counter, often found inside stations or buildings.
店 — 广 (shelter radical) + 占 (zhān, phonetic)
店 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The radical 广 depicts a roof or open shelter, suggesting a building, while 占 supplies the sound (zhān → diàn). Originally it referred to a roadside inn or stall set up under a shelter, and over time the meaning narrowed to 'shop' or 'store'.
