The character 共 (gòng) means "together" or "common", establishing a sense of collectivity or joint action. It is combined with 享 (xiǎng), which means "to enjoy" or "to benefit from". The formation is purely conceptual: the two ideas are placed side-by-side to create a new, composite meaning, the action or state of enjoying something jointly with others, hence "to share". It is a direct fusion of the concepts of "togetherness" and "enjoyment" into a single, unified notion.
