Etymology

From Middle Korean ᄎᆞ〮례 (Yale: chólyèy, “order; sequence”) which appears from the 15th century. ᄎᆞ〮례 (Yale: chólyèy) was originally ᄎᆞ뎨 (Yale: chotyey) (modern reading: 차제 (chaje)), a

    Sino-Korean word from 次第 (order; sequence); this form also appears in documents of 17th to 19th century. The current form is reanalyzed as a

      Sino-Korean word from 次例, from (second) + (rule).[1]
