Definition
存有 is a formal verb meaning 'to exist' or 'to have (an attitude, feeling, or record).' It is typically used in written or formal contexts, often with abstract nouns like 疑虑 (doubts) or 希望 (hope). The English gloss 'come into being' is misleading because 存有 focuses on the state of existing or holding, not the beginning of existence.
v.
to exist (in a place or system)to have/hold (a feeling, opinion, or record)
