Memory Hook
Imagine a 'gen' (現 sounds like 'gen' in 'general') that is currently operating — think of a 'general' leading the present troops. 'Gen' + 'kou' (行, 'go') → 現行 (genkou, 'present, current, in operation').
Cultural Note
In Japanese legal and business contexts, 『現行』 (genkou) is often used to refer to current laws, systems, or operations, such as 『現行法』 (genkouhou, 'current law') or 『現行犯』 (genkouhan, 'caught in the act').
