The Chinese word 捐赠 (juān zèng) is composed of two characters: 捐 (juān) and 赠 (zèng). The character 捐 originally meant "to give up" or "to donate", and it is often used in the context of making a donation or giving something away. The character 赠, on the other hand, means "to give" or "to bestow", and it is often used in the context of giving a gift or presenting something to someone. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 捐赠, which specifically refers to the act of making a donation or giving something away for a charitable or philanthropic purpose.
