03Origin & word formation
Gyeonggi Province’s November 1999 지식행정 용어해설집 gives this abbreviation and a corresponding definition. The first user and time have not been verified.
Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The November 1999 revised edition was compared on PDF page 317. The spelling and definition were directly compared with the rendered original. It is a general or specialist abbreviation of the time; inclusion does not establish its birth year or period of popular use. Because the source’s English expansion contains an error, only the checked Korean expanded form was written.
