to enjoy
🎁 xiǎng: homophone of 想 (think) and 响 (sound); top 亠口 = an offering hall
享 began as a drawing of an ancestral hall where food offerings were laid out for spirits to receive; from offering-and-receiving came the sense to enjoy, benefit from, or have the use of something. The pronunciation xiǎng matches 想 (to think) and 响 (sound).
享 — 亠 lid + 口 mouth + 子 child (from 亯/享)
享 originally depicted a tall ancestral shrine or temple where offerings were presented to spirits and ancestors. The early form 亯 showed a raised building on a base, symbolizing ritual sacrifice. Over time the meaning shifted from 'offer to the gods' to 'receive and enjoy' what is offered, giving today's senses of enjoying or sharing.
