Word origin

汇 (huì, "send or gather") is simplified from 匯 (huì, "converge"), whose water-related form evokes streams joining, a sense extended to money sent through a channel.

Usage tips

  • English send covers many kinds of delivery, but this verb with money usually points to a transfer through a financial service rather than physically carrying cash.
