What 션 means
Meaning comes from the surrounding Korean word.
In 로션 (“lotion”) and 펜션 (“guesthouse”), 션 is the last syllable; each complete word has its own meaning.
Hangul's creation is dated to 1443, and the Hunminjeongeum, a text explaining the script, dates to 1446. It presented Hangul as an easier way to write Korean than methods based on Chinese characters.
Neutral as a spelling unit; the containing word sets its tone.
Alone, 션 can look like a word cut off halfway.
