차례

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 次 (“second”) + 例 (“rule”).[1]
