In Old Korean orthography, native terms with clear Chinese equivalents are usually written with an initial Chinese character glossing the meaning of the word, followed by one or more Chinese characters that transcribe the final syllable or coda consonant of the term. In the case of 爲只, the first character shows that this is the native Old Korean word for "to do", and the second character shows that the coda consonant of this word is *-k. As a verb root *sik- "to do" can be reconstructed from Middle Korean terms (see #Descendants below), 爲只 is conventionally reconstructed as *SIk-, "to do".
This verb is attested twelve times in thirteenth-century interpretive gugyeol glosses to the Yogācārabhūmi-Śāstra. The non-derived form is not attested directly in Hangul sources.
