What is ATEJI?
In modern Japanese, 当て字(ATEJI) are kanji used phonetically to represent native or borrowed words.
The character 寿(kotobuki) means "one's natural life span", and 司(tsukasa) means "to administer", neither of which has anything to do with the food.
ATEJI as a means of representing loanwords have been largely superseded in modern Japanese by the use of katakana, although many ATEJI coined in earlier eras still linger on.
When using ATEJI to represent loanwords, the kanji are sometimes chosen for both their semantic and phonetic values.
A stock example is 倶楽部(Kurabu) for "club", where the characters can be interpreted loosely in sequence as "together", "fun" and "place".
Another example is 合羽(kappa) for the Portuguese capa, a kind of raincoat.
The characters can mean "wings coming together", as the pointed capa resembles a bird with wings folded together.
ATEJI should not be confused with 訓読み(kunyomi), Japanese reading, or native reading, where a kanji is assigned the native Japanese equivalent as its reading.
The converse, where the kanji characters are used for their meaning without regard to their original reading and are assigned a new reading, is also a form of ATEJI.
An example is 煙草(tabako) for "tobacco", where the individual kanji have no phonetic relationship to the compound.
"兄弟(brother)", "兄妹(brother and sister)", and "姉妹(sisters)": This is a reason why the pronunciations of these words are all "kyoudai".
But, when it is used alone, pronunciation "shimai" is used for the word "Sisters".
