Word origin

抚养权 (fǔyǎngquán, "custody") combines 抚 (fǔ, "care for") + 养 (yǎng, "raise") + 权 (quán, "right or authority"), joining child care with the legal power and duty to provide it.

Usage tips

  • In divorce reporting, this noun often follows verbs meaning obtain, lose, or award, so it identifies the legal outcome rather than merely describing a parent's affection or involvement.
