Etymology

Phono-semantic matching of Korean 김치 (gimchi) (ultimately from Chinese 沉菜), coined by Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Center and confirmed by the officials of trademark filing in 2013-11-07. The trademarked name had been filed in November 2013 in Chinese-speaking regions, but National Institute of Korean Language announced to revert the name to 泡菜 in 2014-05-14. South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism official document released in 2021-07-22 used it as official translation, following an announcement of international standard of 泡菜 that had been made in November 2020 at Sichuan without Korean involvement, but the earliest usage of the term within the Korea's Ministry's web site was traced back to 2016-08-04.

  1. (South Korea, formal) kimchi

Usage notes

Promoted by the RoK (South Korea) to avoid confusion with 四川泡菜. However, it is not used by most native Chinese speakers, who still refer to kimchi as 泡菜 (pàocài), with the qualifier 韓國韩国 (Hánguó) added as a prefix when necessary to distinguish it from other types of preserved vegetables.
