Etymology
Dak-bokkeum-tang (닭볶음탕) is a compound of dak (닭; "chicken"), bokkeum (볶음; "stir-fried dish"), and tang (탕; "soup").
The dish has often been called dak-dori-tang (닭도리탕), where the etymology of the middle word dori (도리) isn't definitively known. In South Korea, the National Institute of the Korean Language claims that the word came from Japanese tori (鳥; "bird"), and suggests that the word should be purified into dak-bokkeum-tang.[4]
