# 辛奇

### Etymology

Phono-semantic matching of Korean 김치 (gimchi) (ultimately from Chinese, see the Korean entry for more), coined by Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Center and confirmed by the officials of trademark filing in 2013-11-07. The trademarked name had been filed in November 2013 in Chinese-speaking regions, but National Institute of Korean Language announced to revert the name to 泡菜 in 2014-05-14. South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism official document released in 2021-07-22 used it as official translation, following an announcement of international standard of 泡菜 that had been made in November 2020 at Sichuan without Korean involvement, but the earliest usage of the term within the Korea's Ministry's web site was traced back to 2016-08-04.

Promoted by the RoK (South Korea) to avoid confusion with other types of 泡菜 (pàocài, “preserved vegetables”). However, this term has yet to catch on. The vast majority of native Chinese speakers still refer to kimchi as 泡菜, sometimes prefixed by a qualifier meaning Korean-style (see below) when there is a need to distinguish.

# squaw
## English
### Etymology

From Massachusett squàw (“woman”), from Proto-Algonquian *eθkwe·wa (“(young) woman”). Cognate with Abenaki -skwa (“female, wife”), Mohegan-Pequot sqá, Cree iskwew / ᐃᐢᑫᐧᐤ (iskeyw, “woman”), Ojibwe ikwe (“woman”). In the 1970s, some non-linguists began to claim that the word originally meant "vagina"; this has been discredited. The first recorded version of the word was found in a book called Mourt’s Relation: A Journey of the Pilgrims at Plymouth written in 1622. The term was not used in a derogatory fashion but spoke of the “squa sachim or Massachusets Queen” in the September 20, 1621 journal entry.
