Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The November 1999 revised edition was compared on PDF page 311. The definition was checked. This is a general or specialist abbreviation of the time; it does not mean it originated or became popular that year. First use was not verified. The source’s first English word was distinguished from its Korean definition, so the expansion was written in Korean.
