Meaning and background

The story behind Bingsoo

Bingsoo is an alternative English spelling encountered for the Korean dessert more often romanised bingsu. The Korea Tourism Organization describes the shaved-ice dish and its many varieties, including fruit and sweet toppings. This is an identifiable food association, not a classical personal-name etymology. The double-o spelling makes its intended sound more obvious to some English readers, though the catalogue cannot determine whether every owner was thinking of dessert.

Origin
English rendering of Korean bingsu (빙수), a traditional shaved-ice dessert Source
Meaning
Korean shaved-ice dessert, commonly prepared with sweet toppings Source
