English Explanation

輻輳 (ふくそう) is an on'yomi compound: 輻 (フク) and 輳 (ソウ). Both kanji include 車 (vehicle) radical, originally referring to wheel spokes converging. Errors like ふくそい or ふぐそう misinterpret the phonetic components or standard on'yomi. It describes congestion or crowding, where many things converge, often causing a bottleneck.
