fund
💰 资 = capital/resource + 金 = gold/money → funds
资 carries the sense of capital or resources, and 金 literally means gold or money. Together they form the compound meaning a sum of money used as capital — a fund or bankroll.
金 — roof 亼 + two dots (metal nuggets) + earth 土
Originally a pictograph of metal nuggets buried in the earth beneath a covering, with the two dots representing pieces of ore. It first meant 'metal' broadly, then narrowed to 'gold' as the most precious metal, and by extension 'money'.
