About

The word 赐予 is formed by combining two characters with closely related meanings to create a single, more potent concept. The first character, 赐, carries the specific meaning of a superior (like an emperor or a deity) graciously bestowing something upon an inferior. The second character, 予, is a more general term meaning "to give". Their combination is not merely additive but intensifies and formalizes the action; it frames the act of giving entirely within a context of hierarchical grace, authority, and favor, transforming simple giving into a formal bestowal from a position of power or reverence.
