Word: 車庫 - Parking Garage
Pronounced: ㄔㄎㄨˋ || Chēkù
Building Blocks;
Today's word is built from the word for car/carriage 車 (P:ㄔ || Chē) and the word for storehouse/warehouse 庫 (P: ㄎㄨˋ || kù).
Notice how the word for storehouse/warehouse 庫 is built from the radical for "A dotted cliff" 广 (P: ㄍㄨㄤˇ || guǎng) and car/chariote 車.
So what about Pants 褲
A quick note that the word for pants 褲 (P: ㄎㄨˋ || kù) has the same pronunciation as 庫. On the character however we add the word the radical for clothes 衤(P: ㄧ || Yī) in front of the character for storehouse/warehouse 庫 and we get the character for pants 褲 with the same pronunciation.
