The Chinese character 付 (fù) is composed of two parts: the radical 亻(rén) and the phonetic component 付 (fù). The radical 亻(rén) indicates that the character is related to a person or human activity. The phonetic component 付 (fù) is a simplified form of the character 覆 (fù), which means "to cover" or "to turn over". The combination of these two components suggests that the character 付 (fù) originally meant "to entrust" or "to hand over". In modern Chinese, 付 (fù) is commonly used in the sense of "to pay" or "to give money". It can also be used as a verb meaning "to attach" or "to add".
