tablespoon
Three teaspoons combined
A tablespoon is a large spoon used for serving food, or a unit of volume in cooking equal to three teaspoons or half a fluid ounce.
Recipe measurements often abbreviate it as tbsp: Add two tablespoons of olive oil.
In casual use, tablespoon may simply mean a generously heaped spoonful rather than an exact measure.
