Ideogram (指事) – a man with a mask (田) over his face. Possible interpretations:

  • Strange, bizarre — "uncommon".
  • Different face — "different".

Compare 鬼 (“demon”), where the 田 also derives from a face.

Alternatively, may be a pictogram (象形) of a person carrying something on his head, the original form of 戴 (“to carry on the head”).

Modern form is graphically 田 + 共, though this is not the etymology.

Etymology 2 edit

Hanja edit

異 (eum 리 (ri))

  1. Only used in certain placenames.
Usage notes edit

The reading 리 (ri) in certain placenames such as 지리산 (智異山, Jirisan) is caused by 활음조 현상 (滑音調 現像, hwareumjo hyeonsang, “euphony”) which altered the original sound from 이 (i) to 리 (ri).[1] This concept (ease of pronunciation) is closely related to the initial sound law 두음 법칙 (頭音法則, dueum beopchik) in South Korea.
