03Origin & word formation
Formed by retaining parts of “Triple Play Service”. The National Institute of Korean Language’s 『2005년 신어』 lists this headword and its meaning. Who first used it and when have not been verified.
Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The headword, components, definition, and usage on PDF page 232 (printed page 208) were directly compared. This relies on one source; the older articles quoted by the report were not directly checked. Inclusion in this collection does not establish the year the expression arose or first became popular. The existing TPS headword refers to the game genre Third Person Shooter. The alias TPS was not added here because it would conflict with that entry. This was read in the section tracking the use of previously surveyed terms; it is not claimed to have originated in 2005.
