결합 (gyeolhap, "bond") is a Sino-Korean formation from 결 (gyeol, "tie") and 합 (hap, "combine"), giving it the sense of separate parts becoming one.
Usage tips
- English bond can describe an emotional link, but 결합 (gyeolhap, "bond") often sounds more formal and focuses on things or groups joining into a whole.
