Where does 솎 come from?

It belongs to Hangul's fifteenth-century syllable-block system. Hangul was created in 1443 and explained in the Hunminjeongeum, printed in 1446, to write Korean in compact blocks that ordinary people could learn.

This block stacks ㅅ plus ㅗ over final ㄳ, so it was composed, not invented as an emblem. Early Hangul spread through religious, educational, medical, and farming books, and this word lives in that last tradition. As of 2026-09-13, no reliable source dates 솎다's first written occurrence.
