From Sino-Korean 기대 (期待, gidae), meaning 'expectation' or 'anticipation', combined with the Korean verb 하다 (hada), meaning 'to do'. The Hanja characters are 企 (gi), meaning 'to plan' or 'to hope', and 待 (dae), meaning 'to wait' or 'to treat'. This etymology reflects the act of planning or hoping for something while waiting for it to happen. The combination of 'to plan/hope' and 'to wait/treat' conveys the nuanced meaning of expecting something to occur, often with a sense of hope or positive outlook. This term entered common usage through the influence of Classical Chinese vocabulary on the Korean language over centuries. The structure '을/를 기대하다' uses the objective particle 을/를 to indicate the object of expectation. This grammatical construction is a standard way to express transitive verbs in Korean.
