Explanation

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


Reading

ふさ

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 to remember: "How many things are in this cluster?" asks your boss. "Just a few sah," (ふさ) you reply.
