Word origin

The Korean noun comes from English serving and is used in restaurant contexts for both the table-service task and, sometimes, the worker who performs it.

Usage tips

  • Unlike English, Korean can use one form for both the table-service job and its worker, so context shows whether the activity or the person is meant.
