What does 닯 mean in Korean?
It is one syllable block, not a complete word by itself.
A Korean syllable block groups a starting consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant. Du Shi Eonhae, a 15th-century Korean translation and commentary on poems by the Chinese poet Du Fu, records the verb stem 닯- with the gloss “put on” or “wear.” The hyphen marks the stem before a verb ending; an older form indexed with it is -.
A 2024 National Institute of Korean Language report records 닯다 among traditional forms in older speakers’ responses from South Chungcheong Province, South Korea, in a meaning group covering “different” or “wrong.” This dialect form is distinct from standard 닮다 (“resemble”) and 다르다 (“be different”).

Don’t substitute 닯 for standard 닮다 (“resemble”) or 다르다 (“be different”).
