Meaning Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading Explanation

The kanji and the vocab are exactly the same, even the reading. This one uses the on'yomi probably because it's often attached to other words (specifying a bureau, for example), so that's why it follows jukugo conventions despite being all alone.
