The term "offering" in literature takes on a wide variety of meanings, ranging from sacred sacrifices to more secular gestures of gift-giving or assistance. In religious contexts it often denotes a ritual sacrifice or libation to a deity—for instance, conveyances of food, wine, or even flesh are depicted as acts of piety and reverence [1][2][3][4][5]. In other texts, however, the word is employed to describe everyday acts of presenting something of value, whether it is a chivalrous gesture, as when a hand is extended in marriage [6], or the provision of assistance and even companionship [7][8]. Moreover, the usage can be metaphorical, symbolizing personal sacrifice or the voluntary ceding of something significant, as seen in depictions of heartfelt, interpersonal exchanges [9][10][11].
