Examples

醸成(じょうせい)、醸造(じょうぞう)、醸す(かもす)

fostering, brewing, to brew/create

Note

On-reading (ジョウ) is used in compounds; kun-reading (かも(す)) is used standalone or with okurigana. Appears in many compounds — memorize the key ones rather than the kanji in isolation. Has multiple meanings (brew; cause; create). Context determines which applies — pay attention in reading passages. This kanji forms verbs/adjectives with okurigana. Practice both the word form and compound forms.
