賜

confer, bestow

賜 is composed of 貝 (shell) and 易 (change, easy). 貝 represents property or wealth, while 易 visually depicts a tilted wine vessel pouring out drops of water, with its original meaning being to bestow or give. As 易 later derived other meanings, 賜 was created to take over its original sense, representing to bestow, grant, or confer wealth.
