생각
Korean edit
Etymology edit
First attested in the Neung'eomgyeong eonhae (楞嚴經諺解 / 능엄경언해), 1461, as Middle Korean ᄉᆡᇰ〮각〮 (Yale: sóyngkák). The term has the shape of a Sino-Korean word, but the etymological origin is ultimately unclear. The hanja spellings of 生覺 and 省覺 are unetymological.
Pronunciation edit
