exorcism

Practice Question

🎉 Explanation

English Explanation

加持 (かじ) is an on'yomi compound: 加 (か, add/bestow) and 持 (じ, hold/sustain). In a religious context, particularly esoteric Buddhism, it refers to a blessing, prayer for recovery, or exorcism. かち misreads 持 as ち, and あじ or あち are complete misreadings of the kanji.

日本語解説

加持 (かじ) は、加 (か) と 持 (じ) の音読みで、真言宗などで加護を祈る祈祷や祝福を意味します。かちは持の読み間違いで、あじやあちは全く異なる読みです。
