The Chinese character 赠 (zèng) means "to give" or "to present." It is composed of two parts: the radical 亻(rén), which indicates that the character is related to a person, and the phonetic component 送 (sòng), which means "to send." The character 送 is itself composed of two parts: the radical 辶 (chuò), which indicates that the character is related to movement, and the phonetic component 送 (sòng), which means "to send." Thus, the character 赠 (zèng) can be understood as a combination of the ideas of "person" and "to send," suggesting the act of giving something to someone.
