読書
どくしょ · dokusho · JLPT N3 · noun
reading
📖 読書 = read (読 doku) + book (書 sho): reading books
読 means read and 書 means writing or book, so the word is literally read-books. Sound hook: a doc (doku) shows (sho) you how to read. The same 書 turns up in 辞書 jisho (dictionary) and 図書館 toshokan (library).
