The word 享有 is a verb formed by combining the character 享 (xiǎng), which means "to enjoy" or "to partake in" (often implying the reception of a benefit or privilege), with the character 有 (yǒu), meaning "to have" or "to possess". Structurally, it follows a common verb-object pattern in Chinese compound words, where 享 acts as the verb ("to enjoy") and 有 acts as its nominal object ("having" or "possession"). However, the combination has coalesced into a single lexical unit meaning "to enjoy (a right, benefit, reputation, etc.)" or "to have the entitlement to", conveying a sense of formal, rightful, or inherent possession that is often abstract, legal, or social in nature, such as enjoying rights, prestige, or a high status.
