Definition
渥 is a classical or literary bound form (b.f.) that appears in a handful of set compounds. It conveys the ideas of 'moistening/enriching' (e.g. 优渥 'generous, abundant') or 'rich/strong' in descriptive contexts. You will not encounter it as an independent word in modern Chinese; its use is confined to formal or elevated registers.
