Etymology

[edit]

Sino-Korean word from (five) + (degree of kinship). A degree of kinship is the relationship between a parent and a child, so a first cousin once removed is five degrees of kinship away from the speaker. See more at 촌(寸) (chon).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈo̞(ː)t͡ɕʰo̞n]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
