I guess it is derived from the word benificiary, which TKD really uses.
“This suffix indicates that the noun to which it is attached is in some
way the beneficiary of the action, the person or thing for whom or for
which the activity occurs.”
I'm not sure if there is a difference between "beneficiary of" and
"benefit of".
