English Explanation

強盗 (ごうとう) uses the on'yomi readings. 強 (ごう) means strong/force, and 盗 (とう) means steal. This term refers to robbery or burglary, specifically the act of stealing property by means of violence or threat of violence. Incorrect readings often confuse 強 (ごう) with こう (こうとう) or add extraneous sounds.

日本語解説

強盗(ごうとう)は、強(ごう)と盗(とう)の音読みで、暴力や脅迫を用いて財物を奪う犯罪を指します。ただの窃盗とは異なり、暴力を伴う点が特徴です。「こうとう」と読み間違えやすいので注意が必要です。
