초대

invitation
💌 초대 = 招 (beckon) + 待 (receive a guest): beckon someone in and host them
Hanja 招待: 招 means to beckon or summon, 待 means to wait on or treat a guest. An invitation is literally a beckon-and-host. Same word as Chinese 招待 (zhāodài) and Japanese 招待 (shōtai), so it transfers across all three.
