Korean
Etymology
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 鎖 (*soːlʔ, “to lock”), as both share the sense of "key, lock" and the Pyongan dialectal form 쇄 (swae) coincides with the orthodox Korean reading of 鎖 (swae).[1]
