This is a polite interrogative form of the adjective '괜찮다' (gwaenchanta), which means 'to be okay', 'to be alright', 'to be fine'. '괜찮다' is believed to have evolved from a combination of '괴다' (goeda, meaning 'to be comfortable' or 'to be agreeable') and '않다' (anta, meaning 'not to do' or 'not to be'). However, its exact etymology is debated. Some theories suggest it originated from '관계치 않다' (gwan-gyechi anta), meaning 'not to be related' or 'not to matter', which then simplified over time. The '-으세요' (-euseyo) ending is a honorific interrogative ending used to show respect to the listener. '-으시-' (-eusi-) is the honorific stem, and '-세요' (-seyo) is a contraction of '-시어요' (-sioyo), a polite interrogative ending.
