03Origin & word formation
The Korean spelling 자스닥 and its meaning as a Japanese over-the-counter market were checked in the 국립국어연구원’s 『2000년 신어』. Page 218 of the Japan Securities Dealers Association’s 50-year history pairs JASDAQ with Japan Securities Dealers Association Quotation. The first user of the Korean expression has not been verified.
Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The Korean usage in 2000 was distinguished from the English expanded form in the later official association history. Numbers in the URL were not treated as a publication date, so the second source’s date was left blank.
