Definition
出具 (chūjù) is a formal verb meaning 'to issue or provide' — it is used specifically for official documents, certificates, reports, or written proof. Unlike the general 提供 (tígōng 'to provide'), 出具 emphasizes producing a formal written document. It is also distinct from 发放 (fāfàng), which means to distribute or grant something (e.g., funds, supplies) to many recipients.
