🎁 天赋 = heaven (天) + bestow (赋): a skill heaven endowed you with at birth
天 means sky or heaven, 赋 means to bestow or endow. Together: an ability granted from birth rather than learned, an innate gift or natural talent.
天 — 一 (one/sky) above 大 (big person)
Originally a pictograph of a person (大) with an emphasized head, representing what is above — the sky or heavens. The top stroke evolved into 一, symbolizing the vast expanse overhead. From 'sky' it extended to mean 'day,' 'heaven,' and 'nature.'
