과녁 (gwanyeok)

Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the 18th century.

Nativisation of the Sino-Korean term 관혁 (貫革, gwanhyeok, “target (lit. to pierce the leather)”). Compare 관하다 (, gwanhada, “to hit the target; to pierce”).

Displaced native (sol).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈkwa̠(ː)ɲʌ̹k̚]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
