About

The word 承担 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a core meaning to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 承, carries the idea of "receiving", "accepting", or "undertaking" a duty or inheritance. The second, 担, means "to carry" or "to bear" a physical load or burden. Together, they merge the abstract notion of accepting an obligation with the concrete image of carrying a weight, forming the complete idea of "to bear" or "to assume" a responsibility.
