What 슳 means
It meant “to be sad” or “to grieve.”
In 15th-century Korean writing, 슳다 appears as both an adjective and a verb.
How did it lead to 슬프다?
The spelling shifted through several recorded forms.
The 16th-century spelling 슯프다 repeats ㅍ; 18th-century 슬푸다 writes ㅜ in its second syllable; 19th-century 슯흐다 reflects a reinterpretation of the stem that adds ㅎ. Modern 슬프다 combines old 슳- with -브-, an adjective-forming element.
Hangul was created in the 15th century to write Korean; letters gather into syllable blocks. 슳 combines ㅅ, ㅡ, and final ㅀ (ㄹ ㅎ).
