openhanded

/oʊpənhˈændᵻd/ verb

**Openhanded** describes a person who gives freely, especially with money or resources, without counting the cost. It signals a readiness to share what one has in a generous manner. An openhanded soul may spread wealth, advice, or affection as if there were an endless well. The term suggests a habitual generosity rather than a one‑off act; it paints a picture of someone whose hands stay metaphorically uncrossed, ready to pass along what they have. It works well in both literal contexts—donating to charity—and figurative ones—sharing ideas with an openhanded optimism. Use it when you want to highlight broad‑scale, unguarded giving.

【核心含义】形容一个人慷慨大方,乐于分享金钱或资源,不计较得失。

常与“慷慨解囊”“无私分享”搭配;注意与“浪费”区别,强调善意而非挥霍。

【Significado central】Describe a una persona que da con libertad y generosidad, especialmente dinero o recursos, sin escatimar el costo.

Señala una disposición habitual a compartir, más que un acto aislado: alguien que reparte riqueza, consejos o afecto como si tuviera una fuente inagotable. Funciona tanto en contextos literales (donar a la caridad) como figurados (compartir ideas con optimismo generoso). Es un término más bien formal, útil cuando se quiere resaltar una entrega amplia y sin reservas.

Word Origin Openhanded means generous, literally 'with an open hand' — ready to give. Open comes from a root meaning 'up, exposed,' and hand is an old Germanic word. The suffix -ed makes it an adjective: 'having an open hand.' Related words: open, reopen, handy, underhand, backhand. So openhanded is the opposite of tight-fisted.
