Korean

Etymology 1

Contracted from Middle Korean 오ᄋᆞᆫ〮 (Yale: wòón), 오온〮 (Yale: wòwón), from unattested *오ᄫᆞᆫ〮 (Yale: *wòWón), from pre-Middle Korean <wòpón>. Compare Yukjin Korean 오분 (obun, whole, entire), preserving the lost */p/.

Originally equivalent to the adnominal form of 오ᄋᆞᆯ〮다〮 (Yale: wòól-tá, “to become whole”), from pre-Middle Korean wòpól-, but the verb is obsolete in modern Korean and the etymology is not transparent.

Pronunciation

  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [o̞(ː)n]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
