Tips to remember the word:
• Think of “공식” (gong-sik) as a “established form” or pattern—its structure sounds like “gong” (like a public bell) plus “sik” (like “system”) which together can remind you of something officially set and recognized.
• You might also associate it with the mathematical “formula” (수학 공식), which is an official, established way to solve problems.

Explanations:
• In standard usage, “공식” means “official” as in authorized or formally recognized. For example, an “official announcement” is “공식 발표.”
• It is also used to refer to a formula or an established method—both senses imply that something has been determined and accepted as the correct way.

Other words with a similar meaning:
• 정식 (jeongsik) – emphasizes a formal, proper or official version.
• 공식적 (gongsikjeok) – the adjective form meaning “official” or “formal.”
• In contexts involving authentication, words like “공인된” (gong-in-doen, meaning “certified” or “authorized”) might also appear.

Alternate meanings / Slang:
• “공식” is commonly used in math to refer to a formula (e.g., “이 공식은 …” means “This formula…”).
• In informal contexts, people might say “공식” to indicate a rule or a set procedure agreed upon by a group, similar to calling it “the official way.”
• There aren’t many slang-specific variations, but the word’s context can shift its nuance between an official statement and a routine formula.
