About
The character 资 (traditional form 資) is a phono-semantic compound. The radical 贝 (bèi; traditional 貝), meaning cowrie shell, provides the semantic category of wealth or currency. The upper component 次 (cì) contributes the phonetic element. Its core meaning originally referred to money, funds, and material capital. This sense later broadened to include non-monetary resources, essential materials, and personal qualifications. The character also developed verbal uses, meaning to provide financial support, subsidize, or endow.
