English Explanation

価格 (かかく) is an On'yomi-On'yomi compound. 価 (か) is the On'yomi for 'price/value', and 格 (かく) for 'rank/status'. Misreadings like がかく (incorrect rendaku) or かがく (common confusion with other 'kagaku' words) or かく (incomplete word) are common. It specifically refers to the monetary amount at which goods or services are offered for sale.

日本語解説

価格(かかく)は音読み同士の組み合わせです。価(か)と格(かく)がそれぞれ「か」「かく」と読まれます。がかく(連濁間違い)やかがく(他の同音異義語との混同)、かく(省略)といった読みは間違いです。商品やサービスに設定された金銭的な値段を指します。
