When used as a noun, add 的 before it (e.g., '得到的支持') to clarify the object of support.

Support is often followed by a person, organization, or cause: 支持政府, 支持项目, 支持朋友.

Originally composed of 支 (zhī, 'branch; to support') and 持 (chí, 'to hold'), together conveying the idea of holding up or sustaining.

Used both as a verb (e.g., 支持某人) and as a noun (e.g., 获得支持). When a noun, it often appears with 的, as in '得到的支持'.
