嫁
よめ · yome · JLPT N3 · noun
daughter-in-law
👰🏠 嫁 = 女 woman + 家 house: the woman who joins the household
Traditionally a bride moved into her husband's family home, so 嫁 means both bride and daughter-in-law. The verb 嫁ぐ (totsugu) means to marry into a family. Sound hook: yome, as in yo, meet the new member of the family.
嫁 — woman radical 女 + 家 (home/family)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The 女 radical signals 'woman,' while 家 ('home/family') gives the sound and reinforces the meaning. Together they convey a woman going to a new home — that is, marrying. The character has meant 'to marry (of a woman)' since ancient times.
