The kanji “得” consists of the radical “彳” (gyōninben), which shows movement or action, combined with “貝” (a symbol for treasure) and “又” (a hand). Altogether, it expresses the idea of gaining or acquiring something valuable. The readings “える” and “うる” are frequently used in daily conversation.

To succeed, effort is necessary — and gaining knowledge is also important.

The onyomi トク (toku) appears in almost all compound forms. The kunyomi える (eru) and うる (uru) are used in native expressions like 得る or 得られる.
