特売
とくばい · tokubai · JLPT N2 · noun
sale
🏷️ 特売 = 特 (special) + 売 (sell): a special sell-off
Both kanji are common on their own: 特 (toku) means special and 売 (bai) means sell. Read together as tokubai, they give a special sale.
特 — cow 牛 + temple 寺 (phonetic)
Originally referred to a male bull or large ox, with 牛 'cow' as the meaning component and 寺 supplying the sound. Over time it shifted from 'bull' to 'special, particular, unique,' the sense used today.
