音読

Probably coined in Japan of elements borrowed from Middle Chinese, as a compound of 音 (on, “sound”) +‎ 読 (doku, “reading”).

• (Tokyo) おんどく [òńdókú] (Heiban – [0])^[1]
• IPA^(key): [õ̞ndo̞kɯ̟]

音(おん)読(どく) • (ondoku) 

1. reading aloud

   Antonym: 黙読 (mokudoku, “to read to oneself, to read silently”)

2. (linguistics) the reading of a Japanese word written in kanji that is roughly based on the pronunciation of the kanji characters in the originating Chinese dialect at the time the word was introduced into Japanese

   Synonym: 音読み (on'yomi)

   Antonyms: 訓読み (kun'yomi), 訓読 (kundoku) (a kanji reading based on the original Japanese word of that meaning)

音(おん)読(どく)する • (ondoku suru) transitive suru (stem 音(おん)読(どく)し (ondoku shi), past 音(おん)読(どく)した (ondoku shita))

1. to read aloud
2. to read a Japanese word written in kanji using the pronunciation based on the original Chinese pronunciation

• (antonym(s) of “read aloud”): 黙読(もくどく) (mokudoku)

Compound of 音 (on, “sound”) +‎ 読み (yomi, “reading”). Originally referred to the sounds (i.e. pronunciations) to use when reading Chinese text, as opposed to the meanings of these Chinese words in Japanese (called 訓読み (kun'yomi) or 訓読 (kundoku)).

Rare alternate for 音読み, leaving the okurigana み implied.
