03Origin & word formation
The source gives the abbreviated structure of “Quality Of Life + 의약품 (Quality Of Life + pharmaceuticals)” and the meaning of “큐오엘 의약품” together. This was checked in the body of the 국립국어연구원’s 『2001년 신어』. The first user and time have not been verified.
Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The definitions in the body of the 2001 collection were compared. The collection also includes previously used words absent from dictionaries. The original older articles re-quoted there were not separately opened, and neither the first use date nor the extent of spread at the time was verified. This explains the consumption or industry label used in the 2001 source, not verified effects of individual products.
