- place to exit
First attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean 곧 (Yale: kwot). Perhaps from the same root as 골 (gol, “village”), as well as 거리 (geori, “street”). Possibly cognate with the Manchu ᡤᡠᡵᡠᠨ (gurun, “country”).
Pronunciation

Usage notes
[edit]- In South Korea, there is an ongoing government-pushed movement to phase out established Sino-Korean words like 출구 (出口, chulgu, “exit”) or 환승 (換乘, hwanseung, “transfer”) in public signage with collocations using 곳 (got) such as 나가는 곳 (naganeun got, literally “leaving place”) or 갈아타는 곳 (garataneun got, literally “vehicle-switching place”), motivated by a nationalist ideology of linguistic purism. However, this has not caught on very much.
