Etymology: First attested in the Gugeupganibang eonhae (救急簡易方諺解 / 구급간이방언해), 1489, as Middle Korean 고쵸〮 (Yale: kwòchyó). Its original meaning was “black pepper”. Two hypotheses exist regarding its origin: # From Japanese 胡椒(こしょう) (koshō), in turn from Chinese 胡椒 [Sino-Korean reading 호초 (hocho)]. # From 고초(苦草) (gocho, “bitter vegetable”), acquiring its current meaning after the introduction of chili peppers in the 17th century.
