Explanation and Etymology - (給仕) kyuuji
The Japanese word 「給仕」 (kyuuji) refers to the act of serving or attending, usually in a context related to service in restaurants or events, where someone is responsible for serving food and drinks to the guests. In Japanese society, the role of 「給仕」 is extremely important to ensure that the event or meal goes smoothly and that the guests are well attended to.
The etymology of the word 「給仕」 is interesting and reflects its function. It is composed of two kanji: 「給」 and 「仕」. The first, 「給」 (kyuu), means "to provide," "to offer," or "to supply," while the second, 「仕」 (ji), denotes "service" or "work." Together, these two parts form the idea of a job that consists of providing or offering assistance, perfectly aligning with the concept of the service provided by a 「給仕」.
Historically originating in feudal Japan, the practice of 「給仕」 was often linked to servant roles in noble houses and temples, where young apprentices carried out these tasks as part of their training and learning within the social hierarchy. Over time, the concept evolved and expanded to include roles within hotels, restaurants, and modern events, maintaining the premise of providing careful attention to detail, courtesy, and professionalism to guests.
