"기린" meaning in All languages combined

See 기린 on Wiktionary

Noun [Korean]

IPA: [kiɾin] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: girin [romanization], 마리 [counter], 麒麟 [hanja]
Etymology: Sino-Korean word from 麒麟. The archaic sense of legendary animal is attested in the two-millennia old Confucianist Classic of Rites that reads bonghwang-girin (鳳凰麒麟). Since Admiral Zheng He brought a giraffe from Somalia to China in 1414, this Hanja word was equated with Somali geri or the like meaning "giraffe" then (See 기린), which on the other hand may have influenced the etymology of Italian giraffa (since Medici giraffe in 1486) and its European derivatives via Arabic زَرَافَة (zarāfa).
