03Origin & word formation
The Korean spelling 나스닥 and its meaning at the time were checked in the 국립국어연구원’s 『2000년 신어』. Nasdaq’s official sustainability report explains that NASDAQ was an abbreviation of National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations. 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 abbreviation explanation in the issuing institution’s later material. The title “2019 report” was not treated as a publication date, so the second source’s date was left blank.
