'serviceman' originates from the English word 'service' combined with 'man', where 'service' meant 'the action of helping or doing work for someone'.

'serviceman' evolved from the combination of 'service' and 'man' in English, reflecting the role of a person providing service, especially in the military.

Initially, it meant 'a man who provides service', but over time it evolved to specifically refer to a member of the armed forces or a repair technician.
