日常(にちじょう)	everyday life ★★★★☆ 日 (sun, day) + 常 (usual) = 日常 (everyday life) everyday life - you know, on the quotidian tip.
常識(じょうしき)	common sense ★★★★☆ 常 (usual) + 識 (be conscious) = 常識 (common sense)
非常(ひじょう)	emergency ★★★★☆ 非 (injustice / mistake) + 常 (usual) = 非常 (emergency) emergency. This is the word on all the emergency exits and emergency firehoses. But you'd never say "I'm having an 非常！”
非常(ひじょう) にxxx	exceedingly xxx ★★★☆☆ 非 (injustice / mistake) + 常 (usual) = 非常 (exceedingly xxx) in an emergency? No! That would be too simple. ひじょうに means, exceedingly or extremely.

The assembly hall is built on very dangerous GROUND,

The PERSON compensated you with a MONEY prize for stabbing you with a DAGGER on a daily basis.
