It seems likely the tablespoon gets its name because it is used at table as a serving spoon.
The tablespoon is bigger than a dessertspoon and not generally used for eating.
A tablespoon holds either three or four teaspoons, depending on where in the world you live: US tablespoons hold three teaspoons (15ml); UK tablespoons hold four (20ml).
