売却

• 読み: ばいきゃく
• ローマ字: baikyaku
• 漢字の分解: 売 (bai/u) — sell; 却 (kyaku) — remove, dispose of
• 発音: /ba.i.kʲa.kɯ/

意味

Sale; disposal; selling off an asset, property, or holding. Implies a deliberate act of divesting something significant.

Used as a する-verb (売却する). Applies to the sale of significant assets such as real estate, shares, subsidiaries, or equipment — not everyday items. Common in corporate restructuring (不採算部門の売却), investment decisions, and asset management. More formal and transactional in nuance than the everyday 売る.
