"도장"

Translation: Dojo

[LiKenun]

Dojo as a translation comes from the fact that the same term was borrowed with Japanese pronunciation. The missing “ng” is a feature of old Japanese borrowings from Chinese; at the time the “ng” nasalized and lengthened the preceding vowel which shows up as long vowels today.

〈도장〉 (dojang)/〈どうじょう〉 (dōjō)

〈영〉 (yeong)/〈れい〉 (rē)

〈생〉 (saeng)/〈せい〉 (sē)

〈능력〉 (neungryeok)/〈のうりょく〉 (nōryoku)

It's an ambiguous question because 도장 is a homonym, which can be interpreted as 圖章 (stamp), 塗裝 (paint), 刀匠 (sword maker) or 道場 (dojo, studio).

I think this word should be translated as club. Rather than using the Japanese word. People that do Taekwondo in foreign countries call it a dojang or club. Nobody that does Taekwondo calls it a dojo.

It has several meanings. I submitted "A stamp" and I got wrong!

What does a stamp havw to do with the Sports section, though?
