荣幸

honored (to have the privilege of ...)

🎖️ 荣 glory + 幸 luck = the lucky glory of being honored to do something

荣 means glory or flourishing honor; 幸 means good fortune or luck. Stacked together they name the warm formal feeling of I'm honored — a glory you were fortunate to receive. 幸 also sits inside 幸福, happiness, so the second half always leans lucky.
