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

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

Compare (“demon”), where the also derives from a face or a mask. Compare also , in which the top component represents either a mask or a monkey's face.

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

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

Etymology 2

Hanja

edit

(eum (ri))

  1. Only used in certain placenames.
Usage notes
edit

The reading (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 (i) to (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.
