About

鉴于 is formed by combining the character 鉴, which originally means "mirror" or "to reflect" and by extension "to observe" or "consider", with the character 于, a prepositional particle that here indicates basis or cause. The combination results in a word meaning "in view of" or "considering", where 于 grammatically ties the act of observation to the reason or premise that follows.
