Definition in Chinese

Word origin
预授权 (yùshòuquán, "preauthorization") combines 预 (yù, "in advance") with 授权 (shòuquán, "authorize"), so the name points to approval before the final payment is taken.
Usage tips
- In rental-car and hotel settings, a card statement may show a hold rather than a completed charge, which explains why available funds change before the final amount is known.
