Origin

The character 與 means "to give; to offer." It contains the phonetic components 舁 ("to carry on one's shoulder") and 牙 ("tooth"). The component 舁 further consists of 臼 ("mortar") and 廾 ("both hands"). The character 世 means "generation."

ways to separate or partition are expressed through 隔, which features the semantic component 阜 ("mound") and the phonetic component 鬲 ("a type of cauldron with three hollow legs used for cooking"). The character 絕 means "to break off; to cut off; to sever." It includes the semantic component 刀 ("knife; blade") and the phonetic component 卪 ("joint; node"). Other components within 絕 include 糸 ("thin silk"), 幺 ("tiny; minute"), and 𢆶 ("minute; extremely small; tiny; infinitesimal").
