개요: '발효'는 한자어로 '발(發: 피어나다, 일어나다)'과 '효(效
효력, 효과)'가 결합된 단어입니다. 법률적 의미에서 어떤 규정이 비로소 법적인 구속력을 갖게 되는 시점을 뜻합니다. 2) 사용 패턴: 주로 '발효되다'라는 서술어와 함께 사용하며, 주어로는 '법', '협정', '조약', '규정' 등이 옵니다. '~부터 발효된다'와 같이 구체적인 날짜와 함께 쓰이는 경우가 많습니다. 3) 일반적 문맥: 뉴스나 공식 문서에서 자주 볼 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, '한-EU 자유무역협정(FTA)이 오늘부로 발효되었다'와 같은 문장에서 사용됩니다. 4) 유의어 비교: '시행'은 이미 만들어진 법이나 제도를 실제로 실시하는 과정에 초점을 맞추는 반면, '발효'는 그 법이 효력을 발생하기 시작하는 '시점'에 더 큰 강조를 둡니다.
