Origin · Source
The term compresses the first syllables of 의대, 치대, 한의대, 약대, and 수의대 into one admissions shorthand. Earlier versions such as 의치한수 were already used in student and test-prep circles, while 의치한약수 became more visible around the early 2020s as pharmacy school returned to undergraduate admissions; the exact first use is difficult to verify, so the year is approximate.
