English Explanation

繊維 (せんい): This compound uses the on'yomi readings: 繊 (せん, fine/delicate) and 維 (い, tie/rope), both typical for scientific/technical terms. Wrong readings like ぜんい misread 繊 as ぜん. せんいん and ぜんいん misread 維 as 員 (いん) or other similar-sounding kanji. It describes a natural or artificial filament, like a thread.

日本語解説

繊維 (せんい): 「繊」と「維」は、それぞれ一般的な音読み「せん」と「い」で構成される専門用語です。「ぜんい」は「繊」の誤読。「せんいん」「ぜんいん」は「維」を「員」などと読み間違えています。糸状の細長い物質を指します。
