As I do not have information about the user's native language, I cannot provide an explanation of its correspondence.
The kanji 養 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a part called 羊(ひつじ)meaning sheep and the right side is 食 (しょく) meaning "food" or "eat." The original meaning of this kanji, therefore, was related to feeding or raising livestock. The sheep 羊 represents the animal being raised, and the action of raising 食 suggests the act of feeding the animal. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass the more general concept of "raising," "nurturing," and "caring for."
