享受

kyouzyu
to enjoy, to relish, to savor

Again, the second character is familiar, as I see it in words like 受信 (zyusin, to receive (a signal), to download), but the first is not. It turns out that 享 has a verb reading that is identical to that of 受. We have 享ける (ukeru) and 受ける (ukeru) both of which mean, to receive, take, get, etc.
