What 질 means
Look at the whole word: 질 shifts from quality to action. Alone or in 질이 좋다 it is the noun 질, linked to 質, meaning quality, character, or substance.
At the end of another word it is the suffix -질, naming an act such as 바느질 (sewing) or 손가락질 (pointing). After a job or bad act it can sneer at that target, so read the full compound. 질 is one assembled Hangul block, from the system explained in 1446 to write Korean speech.
