Definition
恩赐 means 'to bestow' or 'to grant' and is typically used when a superior (a ruler, God, nature, etc.) gives a favor or gift to an inferior. The word carries a strong hierarchical or reverent tone — you wouldn't use it for ordinary giving between equals. It can also appear as a noun ('favor, gift'), but the verb sense is the primary use.
v.
to bestow (as a favor from above)to grant generously (from a higher authority)
