About

The word "服务生" is formed by combining the characters 服 (meaning "to serve"), 务 (meaning "affair" or "task"), and 生 (meaning "person" or "life"). 服 and 务 together constitute the compound 服务, which means "service" or "to serve". The addition of 生 denotes a person who performs or is involved in that service, thus creating the term for a waiter or service attendant.
