Word origin
정사이즈 (jeongsaijeu, "usual size") is formed from 정 (jeong, "right or proper") and the English loanword 사이즈 (saijeu, "size"), giving the phrase its sense of a standard fit.
Usage tips
- English speakers can think of it as a fit label rather than a guaranteed measurement, since each brand may define its usual size differently.
