openhanded
Quick to share
Openhanded means generous, giving freely without reluctance or calculation: an openhanded host, openhanded with her time and money.
The image is of an open palm offering something, as opposed to a closed fist holding back.
The word carries connotations of warmth and abundance rather than mere financial generosity.
