Word origin
筹措 (chóucuò, "raise and arrange") combines 筹 (chóu, "plan or gather") with 措 (cuò, "place or handle"), so the compound conveys organizing needed resources.
Usage tips
- It often belongs to the language of projects, budgets, and public notices, so it sounds more organized and official than a casual request for money.
