About

The word "给予" is formed through the combination of two independent characters, each carrying the core meaning of "to give". The first character, "给", is the common, modern verb for giving or providing, while the second character, "予", is a more classical and formal synonym also meaning to grant or bestow. By joining these two synonymous morphemes, the compound creates a single, elevated term where the meanings reinforce each other, resulting in a word that conveys a sense of formal conferral, bestowal, or the act of giving in a weightier, often abstract or figurative sense than either character might alone.
