What 낡 means
In 낡다, 낡 means “worn out” or “old-fashioned.”
It describes objects worn through use, as in 낡은 옷 (“worn clothes”), and can describe an idea or institution that feels outdated, as in 낡은 생각 (“an outdated idea”).
In 1449, 월인천강지곡, a Buddhist hymn praising the Buddha, records the older spelling ᄂᆞᆰ다 in a phrase about worn clothing.
Neutral in a word; applied to an idea or institution, it can sound critical.
Alone, 낡 is an unfinished word base; 낡다 is the complete dictionary form.
