給 provide

If you provide me with the string, I'll make a CUTE suit that suits you.

wages ★★★☆☆
給 (provide) + 料 (ingredients / fees) = 給料 (wages)

wages - a bit more useful than the related word 給与. For instance, 'payday' is 給料日 (きゅうりょうび)、 not 給与日.

supply ★★☆☆☆
供 (follower) + 給 (provide) = 供給 (supply)

to supply (supply and demand / supply the troops with guns / supply your kid with a school lunches / the feed chute supplies grain to the conveyor belt at the cereal factory)

salary, wages ★☆☆☆☆
給 (provide) + 与 (bestow) = 給与 (salary, wages )
