Memory Hook
Imagine a clock with two different times—one for here, one far away. The 'time' (時 ji) has a 'difference' (差 sa). 'Ji-sa' → 時差 (jisa, 'time difference').
Cultural Note
In Japan, 時差 (jisa, 'time difference') is often discussed when traveling or calling overseas. For example, Japan is 9 hours ahead of GMT, so people might say 『日本とアメリカの時差は何時間ですか？』 (Nihon to Amerika no jisa wa nan-jikan desu ka?, 'What is the time difference between Japan and America?').
