The Chinese word 发放 (fāfàng) is composed of two characters: 发 (fā) and 放 (fàng). The character 发 originally meant "hair" or "to grow," but it has also been used to mean "to send out" or "to release." The character 放 originally meant "to let go" or "to set free," but it has also been used to mean "to place" or "to put." When these two characters are combined, they create the word 发放, which means "to distribute" or "to issue." This word is often used in the context of distributing money, goods, or information. For example, the sentence "政府发放救济金给灾民" means "The government distributed relief funds to the victims of the disaster."
