百ひゃく姓しょう読よみ

noun

unorthodox kanji reading; folk reading

Refers to a non-standard reading of a kanji, especially in compounds, often based on a common phonetic component rather than the correct on/kun reading. The term literally means 'farmer's reading', implying an uneducated guess. Compare with 慣用読み (conventionalized non-standard reading).
