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to the adnominal form of 오ᄋᆞᆯ〮다〮 (Yale: wòól-tá, “to become whole”), from pre-Middle Korean wòpól-, but the verb is obsolete in modern Korean and the etymology is not transparent.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: [온(ː)]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
