The character 赓 means to continue or carry on a tradition.
Tips
usage
A literary verb for 'continue'. Most common in 赓续 (to carry on, continue) and 赓和 (to write a matching poem in reply). It carries a formal, written tone — everyday speech uses 继续 instead.
The shell radical 贝 sits inside the 庚 frame. Cowries were ancient money, so the radical originally tied the word to wealth and exchange; here it mainly serves as the indexing radical while 庚 carries both sound and the 'continuing' sense.
