    小知识

    When you present an honor or a gift to someone, you bestow it, which is the same as giving it, but often classier and more respectful.

    Bestow comes from the Middle English stowen, “to place.” Placing something really valuable or honoring in the hands of another, or conferring a position of responsibility on them, is to bestow it. For example, “She gave her teacher a ceramic apple she had made, knowing that her whole class would bestow the big honor of Teacher of the Year later that day,” or, “The king praised her for working with the poor, and he would later bestow the medal of honor on her in a ceremony.”
