조용 comes from 從容, but many borrowed words in Korean were nativized in some way over the centuries. As such, there is no 漢字 form for this. The official reading for 從容 is 종용 in modern days.
Similarly, 김치 which was 딤ᄎᆡ and 팀ᄎᆡ (from 沈菜) changed when it became trendy to depalatalize ㅈㅉㅊ sounds.
There’s a whole stock of words with hidden Chinese origins, some of which are so altered they are no longer recognized as such.

No more wrong than run- horses cannot run in English, unless they are running for president? They can walk, jump, tolt, trot, canter and gallop.

This is difficult without the hanja. I put - Ask quietly- because I didn't know whether 말 was speaking or a horse
말 is native Korean in both cases. There is no corresponding 漢字 for either. The difference is technically vowel length as prescribed by the dictionaries (speech is long, but horse is short). However, this isn’t marked in the modern orthography.
