What 족 means
Read the whole Korean word: 족 has no fixed meaning alone.
As a suffix (an ending added to a word), -족 labels an ethnic group or people who share a habit or trait. The related Chinese character 族 supplies the group or kin sense in Korean; the distinct character 足 is also read 족 and gives 족발 its “foot” meaning.
In -족, the syllable marks a group; alone, it needs its compound for a clear reading.
Do not translate every 족 as “group.”
