潮 means "tide, current, opportunity."
Tide - The rise and fall of sea water.
Current - A flow of water; a stream.
Opportunity - A suitable time; a chance.
The meaning above is based on the following sources:
tide; salt water; opportunity
tide; moist, wet, damp; flow
tide; damp; moist; humid; fashionable; trendy; (coll.) inferior; substandard
tide, current; damp, moist, wet
The name for the regular rise and fall of sea water. Caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, with the moon being closer to Earth having greater effect. On the side facing the moon, sea water is pulled up, rising above sea level. On the opposite side, the Earth is pulled back, moving away from sea level, both creating high tide. Meanwhile, the two directions at ninety degrees have the lowest tides as water is drawn elsewhere. The Earth rotates once per day, so tides rise and fall twice daily. Also, at new and full moon, the gravitational forces of sun and moon combine, making tides highest. At first and last quarter, the two forces oppose, making tides smallest. | Colloquially, dampness is called 潮. | Things occurring at regular times are called 潮. As when a patient develops fever every afternoon, it is called 潮熱 (tidal fever).
どんなものにも潮時がある。
There is a time for everything.

What is Onyomi?
Onyomi, also known as the "Sino-Japanese reading," is one of the two main reading systems for kanji characters in Japanese. It refers to the reading of a kanji character that is derived from the original Chinese pronunciation.
What is Kunyomi?
Kunyomi, also known as the "native Japanese reading," is one of the two main reading systems for kanji characters in Japanese. It refers to the reading of a kanji character that is based on the native Japanese pronunciation. Kunyomi readings are often used when a kanji character stands alone or is followed by hiragana, as in verbs and adjectives. Mastering both kunyomi and onyomi is crucial for understanding and using kanji effectively in the Japanese language.
What is Radical?
A radical, also known as "bushu" in Japanese, is a fundamental component of kanji characters. Radicals are the building blocks of kanji and are used to categorize and organize them in dictionaries. There are 214 traditional radicals, each with its own meaning, which often provides a clue to the meaning of the kanji character it forms.
What is strokes?
Stroke count, or "kakusuu" in Japanese, refers to the number of individual brushstrokes required to write a kanji character. Each kanji has a specific stroke order and stroke count, which are essential for writing the character correctly and legibly. Understanding and following the correct stroke order not only ensures proper balance and aesthetics but also makes writing more efficient and fluid.
