"어른" meaning in Korean

See 어른 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈɘ(ː)ɾɯn] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: eoreun [romanization]
Etymology: First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 얼〯운〮 (Yale: ělGwún). Etymologically from the verb root 얼ㅇ (Yale: èlG-, “to have sex; to copulate; to marry”) and the gerundive suffix 운 (Yale: -wún): "one who is married/has sex" (Lee and Ramsey 2011, p. 233). Alternatively from the related 얼우 (Yale: elGwu-, “to marry (off)”) and the same suffix: "one who is married". No longer perceived as such by modern speakers, as the source verbs are obsolete.
