문증 what the dictionary records

백화점(百貨店)·백성(百姓)·백점(百點)·백분율(百分率). 한자·독음은 표준국어대사전·우리말샘 원어 칸.

'Let's go to the department store (백화점)! Why 백화점 — a hundred things?' 'A store selling a hundred kinds of goods.' 'Only a hundred? There were more!'

百 — a hundred. 百貨店 hundred-goods store: a hundred meant 'a great many'. 百姓 the hundred surnames — everyone.

But sometimes it's a real hundred: 百點 a hundred dots — full marks. 百分率 divided by a hundred — percent.

'A hundred goods, a hundred surnames. Long ago, a hundred was everything.' 'Full marks is everything right — so a hundred is all!'

'I saw way more than a hundred things at the store. 百 means many!'

백화점은 백 가지 물건 가게, 백은 많다였어요.
