Etymology
The term 'busgirl' is derived from the combination of 'bus' and 'girl.' The word 'bus' in this context originates from the term 'busboy,' which dates back to the early 20th century and refers to a male worker who clears tables in a restaurant. Over time, as more females joined the workforce in restaurants, the term 'busgirl' emerged to specifically denote female employees who perform similar duties. This evolution reflects broader societal changes regarding gender roles and employment in the service industry. The use of 'busgirl' became more common in the latter half of the 20th century, as women increasingly took on various roles in hospitality, including those that were traditionally male-dominated.
