Service

Service is work done for others—what you provide or receive when helping or being helped.
A waiter gives good service; a mechanic services your car.
Services are intangible goods: financial services, professional services.
A service is also a religious ceremony: a funeral service, a church service.
In tennis, the service is the act of putting the ball in play.
Military service means time spent in armed forces.
To be of service is to be useful.
At your service offers willingness to help.
