Word origin

The word 일회용품 (ilhoeyongpum, "single-use item") combines 일회 (ilhoe, "one time") with 용품 (yongpum, "item for use"), making its one-use meaning easy to recognize.

Usage tips

  • The shorter form 일회용 (ilhoeyong, "single-use") is useful before nouns, so learners can distinguish a single-use cup from the general category of such items.
