🇰🇷🇬🇧 워딩 vs wording, what do you think?

These days, the word "워딩" (wording) is frequently used in Korea. However, I think its meaning in Korean is slightly different from how "wording" is used in English.

In Korean, when people say "워딩," they often refer to a specific word, phrase, or even a statement that someone has deliberately chosen to express their intention. In a broader sense, it refers to the exact words someone used in a particular situation.

For example, people often use:

정확한 워딩이 뭐였어요?
→ What were the exact words?

알려진 워딩으로는...
→ The reported wording is... / According to the known wording...

그게 대통령의 워딩이었어요?
→ Was that the president’s exact wording? / Were those the president’s exact words?

Recently, this term has been appearing frequently in news reports, especially when discussing court proceedings, legal cases or political issues.
