Lump
Mass, Bundle, Embodiment
noun
The kanji and the word are the same, so this can mean lump, mass, or bundle. Additionally, this can also refer to being the embodiment of something. When somebody or something is a mass or bundle of some attribute or trait, they might as well be the embodiment of it!
The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji. Recognize this word?
