First Kanji

The first Kanji in this week’s posting is 低, which per jisho.org takes on meanings of low, lower, short, and humble.

Kun: ひく.い、 ひく.める、 ひく.まる On:テイ

Chinese Pronunciation: dī

Notes

Let's decompose the term Cost Reduction (低コスト化). The last character of the term, 化 (ka / か), means change or change into. Removing the character from the term leaves 低コスト which means low cost.

The character 低 (tei / てい) means low. Removing the character from the remaining term leaves コスト which means cost.
