Why I collected this word
I reminded Our school's motto "Not success, But service" to choice my word. The service is means help someone. That is pretty nice meaning. So I have wanted to search how this word made.
Before research
work for help/support someone
After research
Service had lots of means. Originally mean is 'slave'. And than, mean changed to curch seremony. Now, mean is help people through work such as hospital, police etc... meanning of word is highly volatile.

05 Reflection
I though the Service means help someone through work. The service's first mean is slave. After that, mean changed slave to curch seremony. And It's came from French. But this word's root is Latin. So Service means not only help someone through work but also slave and curch seremony.
