Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 补助 (bǔzhù) is composed of two characters: 补 (bǔ) and 助 (zhù). The character 补 originally meant "to mend" or "to repair", and it is often used in the context of fixing something that is broken or damaged. The character 助 means "to help" or "to assist", and it is often used in the context of providing support or assistance to someone. When these two characters are combined, the word 补助 takes on the meaning of "to subsidize" or "to provide financial assistance". In the context of HSK, 补助 is commonly used to refer to government subsidies or financial aid provided to individuals or organizations in need.
