Memory Hook
Think of a 'ken' (from 兼, 'combine') and 'you' (from 用, 'use') — 'ken-you' sounds like 'can you' use it for multiple purposes? 'Multi-use' → 『兼用』 (kenyou, 'multi-use').
Cultural Note
In Japan, space-saving and efficiency are highly valued, so 『兼用』 (kenyou, 'multi-use') items are common in homes and technology. For example, a 『兼用部屋』 (kenyou heya, 'multi-purpose room') might serve as a living room and bedroom.
