Syllable

쌀 • (ssal)

  1. A Hangul syllabic block made up of ㅆ, ㅏ, and ㄹ.

Etymology 2

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean ᄡᆞᆯ (Yale: psol). The Middle Korean p- is still preserved in many compounds where 쌀 is the second element, such as 멥쌀 (mepssal) and 찹쌀 (chapssal).

Vovin (2015) argues that it could be a Japonic loan, connecting it with Japanese 早稲 (wase, “early-ripening rice”), with two assumptions:[1]

  • That the initial p- came from a phonological inability to render initial Japonic w-.
  • That the final consonant was originally present in early Japonic but had been eliminated in the insular languages.

Noun

쌀 • (ssal)

  1. rice
