What 곪 means
Usually no: 곪 is the stem of 곪다, not a full word.
곪다 means to fester: a wound worsens, or a neglected conflict deepens.
Hangul was devised in 1443 and published in 1446. Before it, Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean. Hangul groups letters into syllable blocks.
Serious Korean verb: literal for wounds, figurative for unresolved conflict.
Alone, 곪 reads as an unfinished verb stem.
