Etymology 1 edit

염소 (yeomso)

First attested in the Beonyeok nogeoldae (飜譯老乞大 / 번역노걸대), 1517, as Middle Korean 염〮쇼〮 (Yale: yémsyó), from 염〮 (Yale: yém, “goat”) + 쇼〮 (Yale: syó, “cow”); the former element is no longer used outside this compound.

Noun edit

염소 • (yeomso) (counter 마리)

goat (horned domestic animal)

Usage notes edit

In Chinese and Japanese, the word for "goat" is 山羊 (shānyáng)/山羊 (yagi). But in Korean, the equivalent 산양(山羊) (sanyang) usually refers to the unrelated long-tailed goral. The "goat" sense is attested but rare.
