勉強 [Benkyou]
This is one of the first words you learn if you have ever taken a Japanese class. There are a few interpretations of the origin of the word but it is said to mean "to do something you don't want to do" or "To gain knowledge by pushing yourself".
Writer's note: I don't think I have ever studied for over three hours, but many students in preparation for their entrance exam study over 6 hours. Insane I tell you.
