reception という単語について。
昨年になりますが、ハイキング中にスマホを眺めていると、How is the reception?と隣の人から聞かれ、はて、receptionとは受付のことだが？ となったことがありました。
最近、車で地下に入ると、カーナビのGPSが受信できなくなり、Lost satellite reception. とカーナビが言うのです。GPSが受信できなくなった、と。
つまりreceptionは、受信ということなのですね。recieveの名詞形なので、そういうわけですね。
スマホでのHow is the reception?は、電波状態は？（電波は入る？）という意味なのですね。
