   • January 1993, 공종원 [gongjong'won], “젊은이여, 大(대)望(망)을 품어라”, in Wolgan saemteo:

     우리가 대망이니, 큰 계획이니 하는 말을 하지만 진정으로 값있는 큰 욕심이나 대망은 과연 무엇이겠는가. 징기스칸이나 알렉산더 대왕처럼 세계를 정복해서 자기의 수중에 넣고 큰소리치면서 살겠다고 하는 것이 대망인가. […] 분명히 이것들은 큰 욕심이요, 대망임에 틀림 없다 […] 그러나 이에 비하면 부처님 같은 이의 대망은 어떤가. 그는 한 나라의 왕자로 태어나 행복이 보장된 삶을 누렸으나 바로 큰 욕심 때문에 이 같은 행복을 과감히 던져버렸다. 이때 그의 대망이라거나 큰 욕심은 과연 무엇이었던가.

     We speak of great aspirations and great plans, but what are the great desires and great aspirations that are truly of worth? Is it a great thing to aspire to, to say that I will conquer the world as did Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great, and hold it all in my grasp and live boasting and bragging? […] Certainly it is undeniable that these are great desires, great aspirations. […] But what is the great aspiration of the Honored Buddha compared to this? Born as the prince of a kingdom, he lived a life whose happiness was guaranteed, yet he decisively abandoned this happiness for a certain great desire. What was his great hope at this time, this great desire?

1. (anatomy) greater omentum

   Synonym: (less common) 큰그물막 (keun'geumulmak)

Clearly a compound of some sort. The first element is probably identical to the first element of 대가리 (daegari, “head”). The second element may be the same as the second syllable in 이마 (ima, “forehead”), especially given the dialectal variant 이망 (imang), or alternatively be a variant of the probably diminutive morpheme 맹이 (maeng'i) in 알맹이 (almaeng'i, “kernel”), 돌멩이 (dolmeng'i, “pebble”). Compare Jeju 데멩이 (demeng'i, “head”), which is obviously related.
