Word origin
The word is formed from 저 (jeo, "that over there") plus 것 (geot, "thing"), so its meaning centers on a distant object.
Usage tips
- In casual speech, the final syllable may sound like geo rather than geot, so this pronunciation change helps learners recognize the word in everyday conversation.
