Origin and Formation

The kanji is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字; keisei moji). The left side is a component, "貝" (かい, shell/currency), representing something valuable. The right side is "賏" (sometimes simplified to 㚘), which provides the phonetic component, indicating the sound "san." The initial meaning likely related to offering valuable things or supporting someone financially. This developed into the broader sense of approval and support.
