握住

握住 means 'to grasp' or 'to hold firmly.' It refers to the action of taking something in one's hand and keeping it securely, often implying control or possession.

The character 握 (wò) originally meant 'to grip' or 'to clutch,' while 住 (zhù) typically means 'to stay' or 'to reside.' Together, 握住 emphasizes the act of holding onto something physically or metaphorically, such as a person, object, or idea.

It is commonly used in both literal and figurative contexts. For example, one might say 握住方向盘 (wò zhù shuǐpíng guān) to mean 'to hold the steering wheel' or use it metaphorically like 握住机会 (wò zhù jīhuì) meaning 'to seize an opportunity.' This phrase is often seen in motivational contexts or daily conversations about control and determination.
