"횡성" meaning in Korean

See 횡성 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [ɸwe̞ŋsʰʌ̹ŋ] [SK-Standard, Seoul], [hø̞ŋsʰʌ̹ŋ] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: Hoengseong [romanization], 橫城 [hanja]
Etymology: Sino-Korean word from 橫城, from 橫 (“cutting crosswise”) + 城 (“castle”). From earlier 횡천 (橫川, Hoengcheon, “stream cutting crosswise”), in reference to the course of the Seom River in the region. This is a Sinitic calque of the native pseudo-Goguryeo toponym 於斯買 (MC 'jo|'u sje meaX), which appears to be a Koreanic-Japonic compound: compare Korean 엇 (eos-, “cutting crosswise”, prefix), Proto-Japonic *me (“water”). The modern name was introduced in the fifteenth century because the original name was confused with the similarly pronounced and neighboring county of 홍천 (洪川, Hongcheon).
