Etymology

Calque of Korean 형 라인 (hyeong rain), composed of 형(兄) (hyeong, “hyung; elder brother of a man”) and 라인 (rain, “members with a shared characteristic”), ultimately from English line. By surface analysis, hyung + line. Refer to 라인 (rain, “members with a shared characteristic”) for more information.
