Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The definition, expanded form, or paired name in the official collection of the time was checked. This relies on a single source; the original re-quoted articles, first coinage, and current range of use require separate verification. The collection lists 종금 (comprehensive finance) and 종금사 (comprehensive financial company) as separate meanings. The financial-service and company names were distinguished and 종금사 was excluded from the aliases.
