Korean syllable 뜻

It means “meaning,” including intention and significance.

For 뜻 vs 듯, the roles differ: 뜻 is a noun for a word’s meaning, someone’s intention, or a point’s significance; 듯 is a Korean grammatical form used for “as if.” The surrounding sentence tells you which sense is intended.

A form of 뜻 used in Middle Korean, an earlier stage of Korean, was ᄠᅳᆮ. It was glossed with 意, a Chinese character used as a short meaning note; the older opening consonant cluster later developed into modern 뜻. Hangul, the Korean writing system, was created to make Korean easier to write than Chinese characters; its syllables combine smaller letters called jamo.
