As a Japanese, I can say that one kanji could have several sounds. For example, the kanji 日 has many sounds such as "nichi", "hi", "jitsu", "bi" and "ka"(actually, there's more). And y'know, that's the reason why 休日 can be pronounced differently (kyuujitsu and kyuubi). But remember, if only 休日 is written, it is always pronounced as kyuujitsu, not kyuubi. But for 定休日, there's a kanji 定 before 休日, right? Then it's going to be pronounced as teikyuubi. Does that make sense?
@innnu-aikouka yeah I understood about the different yomi of a kanji. I thought there's a specific reason. Especially since compound words are almost always be pronounced with onyomi except Japanese names like Tanaka (田中、中山、etc.). Maybe because kyuujitsu is an old word that is retained from old times (just like the names)? And kyuubi uses the Chinese pronunciation like getsuyoubi, tanjoubi etc.
@manifestasisanubari A good question - the etymology of kanji is always interesting to help understand the origin of words, compounds, context etc. In terms of the specific example, cannot advise what the actual etymology is 🤔 - perhaps others may have further input . Thanks again for watching.👍

Is there any reason 休日 is pronounced kyuujitsu in 夜間休日入口 and kyuubi in 毎週月曜日定休日?
