Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103, as Late Old Korean . and also attested in personal name of 素那 as Old Korean .

In the hangul script, first attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 쇠〮 (Yale: swóy).

According to Fukui et al. (2017), this term might be related to Old Chinese (*soːlʔ, to lock), as both share the sense of "key, lock" and the Pyongan dialectal form (swae) coincides with the orthodox Korean reading of (swae).[1]
