curiosity
BOOBOO: if you want to say you're curious about a specific thing, you'd use 興味 （きょうみ） instead.
好奇心 usually means "curiosity-in-general": you have an inquiring personality, or a gaze of curiosity on your face. You'd never say, "Oh, you play in a band? 好奇心ある！”
好 (like) + 奇 (strange) + 心 (heart) = 好奇心 (curiosity)
