与える（あたえる） is an ichidan transitive verb. It means to give or grant something, often in a formal or abstract sense. It is commonly used with abstract nouns such as 影響, 機会, or 印象.

Old form 與. The core sense is “to give” or “to be involved.” From “bestowing” comes usage in legal and administrative terms like 付与（granting rights） and 授与（awarding a prize）; from “taking part” comes 関与 and 参与. A compact shape with a broad semantic reach.
