The word is a Sino-Korean compound made from 강의 (gangui, "lecture") and 실 (sil, "room"), so its parts describe its function directly.

Usage tips

  • The word covers both a university teaching space and an academy classroom, so it does not by itself tell whether the group or room is large or small.
