The word 拥有 is formed by combining two characters: 拥, which originally depicts actions like "embracing" or "holding", conveying a sense of encircling control, and 有, which fundamentally means "to have" or "to exist". Together, they create a composite meaning where the act of "holding" (拥) strengthens and makes more concrete the abstract state of "having" (有), resulting in a term that expresses a firm, encompassing possession or ownership, as if something is securely held within one's grasp.
