What 겟 means
No: 겟 is a syllable, not a word on its own.
Hangul combines letters called jamo—its consonants and vowels—into compact syllable blocks. In a Korean word or phrase, 겟 contributes one syllable; the surrounding text supplies its meaning.
Hangul was developed under King Sejong from 1443 to 1446 so Korean could be written with letters designed for its sounds. Earlier writing practices often used Chinese characters to write Korean; Hangul groups consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks.
Why does 겟 sound like a short t?
Final ㅅ is usually an unreleased t-like sound.
겟 combines an opening consonant ㄱ, a vowel ㅔ, and final ㅅ. Korean final consonants usually stop without a burst of air, so final ㅅ sounds like a clipped t; before a vowel, it can link into the next syllable.
How do I type 겟?
Type ㄱ, then ㅔ, then ㅅ on a Korean keyboard.
A Korean input method combines those jamo into 겟. Unicode can also represent it as 겟, three jamo that join into one syllable block.
Its tone is neutral on its own; the surrounding Korean sentence sets the register.
Do not mix it up with 겠: that block ends in ㅆ and serves a Korean grammar role.

1What does 겟 mean in its 1632 appearance?
A 1632 reprint of a Korean translation of poems by Du Fu includes “겟 風俗이,” meaning roughly “the customs there are simple.” This is an older, context-bound use, not a definition for 겟 alone.
