What 앓 means
앓 gets its meaning from the Korean word it belongs to. In 앓다, it is part of a verb meaning “to suffer from an illness”; 앓아눕다 means to become ill enough to take to bed. In 골머리를 앓다, the same stem describes being troubled by a difficult problem.
In Middle Korean, an earlier stage of Korean, 앓- meant “ail.” One historical analysis links the stem plus an old ending used to form descriptive words to the development of modern 아프다, “to be sick.”
In standard Korean spelling, 앓 is neutral; the surrounding word supplies its tone and meaning.
Read the full Korean word; 앓 alone does not tell you what the suffering is.
