賄う
まかなう · makanau · JLPT N1 · verb-godan
to give board to
🍲💰 賄 = 貝 (money) + 有 (have): money you have, spent to cover meals and bills
Board for a household or staff is paid from money you hold, so 賄う means to cover that cost. The same kanji appears in 賄賂 (wairo, bribe): money handed over to cover a favour.
