Word origin

Korean borrowed 텀블러 (teombeulreo, "tumbler") from English tumbler and extended its everyday meaning from a drinking glass to a lidded container that keeps drinks hot or cold.

Usage tips

  • A glass in an English-speaking setting may be called a tumbler, but Korean 텀블러 (teombeulreo, "tumbler") usually points to a container designed to be carried with a drink inside.
