About

The word 交给 is formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 交 (jiāo), carries the essential idea of "to hand over" or "to transfer". The second character, 给 (gěi), fundamentally means "to give". Their combination is not merely additive but integrative, layering the action of transferring (交) with the specific direction and completion implied by giving to a recipient (给). This results in a single verb that conceptually encapsulates the entire process of entrusting, delivering, or passing something over to someone else's care.
