What 줏 means
Its meaning comes from the complete Korean word.
줏 is a Hangul syllable block. In 줏대, the complete noun means steadfast independence of thought; that meaning belongs to the whole word.
Hangul was devised to write Korean speech systematically, with consonants and vowels grouped into syllable blocks. Its creation is dated to 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446.
Why does 줏 appear in 줏대 and 줏다?
The whole word determines how to read 줏.
The meaning of 줏대 is steadfast independence of thought. The dictionary also records it as 主대: the Hanja character 主, a Chinese-derived character used in Korean writing, followed by Hangul 대.
