What the heck is a Siboc!?

So in my style ( it came from Kajukenbo) we have Sifu's and Sibocs. Siboc means assistant teacher. Where did this term come from? I've never heard it in a different style.

    The closest I can think of is Si-Bak, which is apparently the Cantonese term for assistant instructor in Wing Chun/JKD schools, if I'm not mistaken. My first martial arts instructor taught Wing Chun/JKD and we were asked to call him Si-Bak and not Sifu as he said he was not certified to be called a Sifu.
