痴漢 ( ちかん )
Usually 漢 means Chinese: it's used in a lot of obscure words ('Chinese dictionary,' 'Chinese herbal medicine,' 'Chinese classical literature,' etc.)

HOWEVER - aside from 漢字 - the only time 漢 is really used in daily life is here: 痴漢, meaning a guy who molests or gropes women on crowded trains.

So the literal reading is: 'sick Chinese' !WTF??? (FR, 1/2 KANA)
(molester) + (Chinese) = 痴漢 (train pervert)
