A British and European term for a system of paying money, especially or government benefits, directly from one bank account to another. In everyday older British speech, 'the giro' referred to the benefit payment or an unemployed person received — now mostly replaced by direct bank transfers, so the word sounds a bit old-fashioned today.
（英式）政府失業補助金／匯款單（現多已改為直接匯款，說法較舊式）
組成From Italian giro, meaning "circle, turn" — the idea of money going around the banking system.
