何况
hékuàng · HSK 7
much less
何 (how/what) + 况 (moreover, the situation) = how much more so the case
何 asks how/what and 况 already means moreover or given the situation; together hékuàng flags a stronger case: if the small thing holds, how much more the big one. Hook the kuàng sound to king: a small coin, let alone a king's hoard.
