Munificence is a noun. It means great generosity, especially giving a lot of money or gifts. A person’s munificence is how open-handed they are. It is a formal, slightly word. You will see it in thanks, in history writing, and in news about people who give large sums. Though actually, it is not the same as being merely kind. Kind can be small and quiet. Munificence is large giving.
慷慨大度(尤指大筆饋贈)
組成From Middle French munificence, from Latin munificentia: munus (gift) + facio (to make) — making gifts.
