Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗The capital city of South Korea, also the historical capital of Korea from 1394 until the country was divided in 1945. · the South Korean government
From French Séoul, from Korean 서울 (Seoul, literally “capital city”), originally from Claude-Charles Dallet's French-based romanization of Korean, reinforced by the 1959 South Korean Ministry of Education romanization of Korean, which transcribed the Korean vowel ㅓ (/ʌ/) with the digraph "eo" and which was official until 1984. Note that English Seoul predates the Revised Romanization romanization of Seoul. The two romanization systems simply produce identical forms.
