1A formal request, application, or sign-up — the act of telling someone you want to participate in something, use a service, enter into a contract, or make a proposal. Originally the masu-stem of the verb 申し込む turned into a noun. Covers a wide range from entries and reservations to marriage proposals and challenges. General writing uses the okurigana form 申し込み; legal, administrative, and form-style writing uses the trimmed 申込 (e.g., 申込書 "application form," 申込者 "applicant," 申込期間 "application period").
