enjoy (right/etc.)
🎟️ 享 (enjoy) + 有 (have) = to have-and-enjoy a right or privilege
享 means enjoy/享受 and 有 means have/possess. Together 享有 is the formal verb for holding a right, status, or reputation that you get to enjoy. Sound cue: xiǎngyǒu starts like shyahng-yo.
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.
有 — hand 𠂇 + moon/meat 月
Originally depicted a hand holding a piece of meat (月 here is the 'meat' radical, not moon), expressing the idea of possessing something. Over time the meaning broadened from 'to hold/possess' to the general sense of 'to have' or 'there is/exists'.
