Word origin
The compound combines 丰 (fēng, "abundant") + 厚 (hòu, "thick; substantial"), so its image is of a benefit that is both plentiful and weighty rather than merely adequate.
Usage tips
- In everyday Chinese, it commonly modifies concrete compensation such as a bonus, salary, benefits, or an offer, rather than describing a person's general ability or character.
