Word origin
The Sino-Korean compound behind the word refers to a written name used as a signature, and adding the Korean verb meaning do makes it an action word.
Usage tips
- On official paperwork, a handwritten signature and a stamped mark are different kinds of confirmation, so sign does not always refer to the same action in Korean.
