Etymology[edit]
Sino-Korean word from 만병(萬病) (manbyeong) + 통치(通治) (tongchi) + 약(藥) (yak).
Pronunciation[edit]
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈma̠(ː)nbjʌ̹ŋtʰo̞ŋt͡ɕʰija̠k̚]
- Phonetic hangul: [만(ː)병통치약]
- Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
