This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “How does 놀다 (nolda, “to play; to hang out”) + -ㅅ (-s, noun-forming suffix) possibly produce "role; part", or (as glossed on the 놀다 page) "job; duty"? What is the sense development? This doesn't seem to make sense. "Duty" and "to play" seem almost like polar opposites.”
