Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading

しる
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

You are given some soup. You take a bite and your mouth is cut clean off. That is because you're eating sheer (しる) soup.
