涵養 (かんよう) combines the on'yomi 涵 (カン), meaning to soak or moisten, and 養 (ヨウ), meaning to cultivate or nourish. It is often confused with 灌漑 (かんがい, irrigation). Incorrect readings like かんがい misread 養, while かんうん and かんじょう misread 養 with incorrect on'yomi. It refers to subtly nurturing, cultivating, or replenishing something, often over time.
涵養(かんよう)は両漢字とも音読み。涵(カン)は「ひたす」、養(ヨウ)は「育てる」の意味。かんがい (灌漑) との混同がよく見られます。かんうん・かんじょうは養の誤読。徐々に養い育てたり、潤いを与えたりする意味です。
