03Origin & word formation

비즈워치 introduces it as sending an interim payment early to prevent cancellation. 조선비즈 explains the same context, adding reporting that its effect is not always recognized. The first user and time could not be established.

Evidence for the origin explanationMedium

The transaction context was checked in two articles. 조선비즈 had differing on-page and metadata dates, so its date was omitted. This explains the meaning and does not guarantee contractual effect.
