Note
On-reading (シ) is used in compounds; kun-reading (むね) is used standalone or with okurigana. Has multiple meanings (gist; purport; delicious). Context determines which applies — pay attention in reading passages. This kanji forms verbs/adjectives with okurigana. Practice both the word form and compound forms.
