きょひ
拒否（きょひ）、拒む（こばむ）、拒絶（きょぜつ）
refusal, to refuse, rejection
On-reading (キョ) is used in compounds; kun-reading (こば(む)) is used standalone or with okurigana. Appears in many compounds — memorize the key ones rather than the kanji in isolation. Has multiple meanings (refuse; reject; deny). Context determines which applies — pay attention in reading passages. This kanji forms verbs/adjectives with okurigana. Practice both the word form and compound forms.
