Etymology 2
First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 돈 (Yale: twon).
The etymology beyond Middle Korean is unknown. Native etymologies have been hypothesized, such as an *n nominalization from 되다 (doeda, “to measure in containers”), Old Korean form given as *도 in Jilin leishi. Others have speculated a pre-Sino-Korean or nativised Chinese etymon, perhaps from a phrase involving 刀 (OC *taːw, “knife”) such as 刀銀 (OC *taːw ŋrɯn, “knife silver”), Chinese knife money being the first form of coinage in Korea, or alternately from 錢 (OC *ʔslenʔ, *zlen, “money”).
There is a pervasive but spurious folk etymology connecting it to 돌— (dol-, “to spin around, to circulate”), hence "that which is circulated".
Pronunciation
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [to̞(ː)n]
- Phonetic hangul: [돈(ː)]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
