설

Etymology 1
The word originally meant both "New Year" and "year of age". The two terms are connected; in Korea, one gains a new year of age at every New Year (so that all people born in the same year have the same age). In the eighteenth century, speakers created the new term by using a yang-vowel alternation of. and are one of a number of Korean noun pairs with yin-yang vowel alternation which were originally the same word.
