Etymology[edit]

First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean ᄀᆞᄅᆞ치〮다〮 (Yale: kòlòchítá), meaning "to point; to teach," likely because teachers historically used pointing as a method of instruction. The semantic division of this verb occurred during Middle Korean, and 가르치다 no longer carries the sense of "to point." It may also be linked to the word 가락 (garak, “a thin, long object; finger”).
