新婚
しんこん · shinkon · JLPT N1 · na-adj
newly-wed
💍 新 (new) + 婚 (marriage) = newly married
新 (shin) means new and 婚 (kon) means marriage, so the word is literally new marriage. The same 新 appears in 新年 (new year) and 新聞 (news).
新 — 立 stand + 木 tree + 斤 axe
Originally depicted cutting fresh wood with an axe (斤) from a tree (木), with 辛/立 as the phonetic component. The original meaning of 'firewood' was later written as 薪, while 新 took on the extended sense of 'new' or 'fresh'.
