쉬운 문제.

The word '쉬운' (swiun) comes from the adjective '쉽다' (swipda), meaning 'to be easy'. The suffix '-un' is a common adjectival ending. The word '문제' (munje) is a Sino-Korean word (漢字語, hanja-eo), derived from Chinese. The Hanja for '문' (mun) is 問, meaning 'to ask' or 'question', and '제' (je) is 題, meaning 'topic' or 'problem'. Thus, '문제' literally means 'a topic to be asked or questioned about', or 'a problem'. The combination '쉬운 문제' directly translates to 'easy problem'. The etymology of '쉽다' itself is rooted in Old Korean, with cognates found in various Altaic languages, suggesting a long history of linguistic evolution. Its usage and meaning have remained consistent over centuries in the Korean language.
