English Explanation

見込み (みこみ) is a kun'yomi compound: 見 (み) from 見る (みる) and 込 (こみ) from 込む (こむ). Incorrect readings like めこみ use an incorrect kun'yomi for 見 or みこめ misread 込. It means "prospect," "outlook," or "expectation," referring to what is anticipated in the future.

日本語解説

見込み (みこみ) は、動詞の訓読み「見る (みる)」と「込む (こむ)」から来ています。「めこみ」は「見」の読み間違い、「みこめ」は「込」の読み間違いです。将来の「予測」「期待」「可能性」を指します。
