Koreanadj.n.

Brit.

/kəˈrɪən/, U.S.

/kəˈriən/

Forms: 1600s–1900s Corean, 1800s– Korean.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Korea , -an suffix.

Etymology: < Korea, †Corea, the name of two countries (North Korea and South Korea; see etymological note) in Eastern Asia, and of several earlier polities in the same region (see note) + -an suffix.The place name is attested in English use from the beginning of the 17th cent. It reflects Korean Goryeo (also transliterated as Koryŏ ), the name of a kingdom in East Asia (including a large part and eventually all of the Korean peninsula), originally a shortened form of Goguryeo , the name of the largest of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which merged in the 10th cent. In 1392, the name was changed to Joseon and in 1897 to Han- (in Daehan , literally ‘Great Korea’: see hanbok n.), but forms based on the earlier names continued in use in other languages. In 1948, the country was divided into the Republic of Korea (informally South Korea; Korean Hanguk), and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (informally North Korea; Korean Joseon).

A. adj.

Of, belonging to, or relating to Korea, or to Koreans and their language (see sense B.).Korea, a region of East Asia forming a peninsula between the Sea of Japan (East Sea) and the Yellow Sea, was partitioned in 1948 and divided into two countries: the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea and the Republic of South Korea.
