服侍

服侍 (fú shì) means to serve or attend to someone, often in a domestic or personal capacity. It implies a level of care and devotion, typically from a servant or attendant to a master or guest.

The character 服 (fú) originally meant 'to obey' or 'to wear,' while 侍 (shì) meant 'to attend' or 'to serve.' Together, they convey the idea of serving with respect and obedience, often in a formal or traditional setting.

服侍 is commonly used in contexts involving household service, hospitality, or deference. It can also be found in historical or literary texts referring to servants or attendants. In modern usage, it may imply a more respectful or formal kind of service than the general term 'serve.'
