Definition in Chinese
为某个目的有计划地集合资金、物资或资料。wèi mǒu gè mù dì yǒu jì huà dì jí hé zī jīn wù zī huò zī liào
Word origin
筹集 (chóují, "to gather for a purpose") joins 筹 (chóu, "to plan or arrange") and 集 (jí, "to gather"), so the word presents gathering as part of practical preparation.
Usage tips
- The verb applies beyond money: in everyday Chinese, it can describe assembling information or supplies for a task, so an English learner need not limit it to fundraising.
