Explanation
The verb 捐出 (juānchū) means 'to donate' or 'to give away,' emphasizing the act of giving something out to others, often for charitable purposes. The directional complement 出 adds a sense of outward movement, distinguishing it from the simpler 捐 by highlighting that something is being given away from oneself. It is commonly used with amounts of money or specific items.
