The Chinese word 看重 is a compound verb formed by combining the character 看 (kàn, meaning "to look at" or "to regard") with the character 重 (zhòng, meaning "heavy" or "important"). This structure follows a common verb-object pattern where 看 acts as the action and 重 serves as the metaphorical object, literally suggesting "to look upon as heavy". Figuratively, it means "to value highly", "to attach importance to", or "to think highly of someone", effectively conveying the idea of viewing something or someone with significant weight or seriousness.
