💡Pro Tip

Formal vs. Informal Use

Use '계약' in formal settings like business or legal documents. In casual speech, '약속' (promise) might be more appropriate.

📖Word Origin

Derived from the Sino-Korean characters 계 (契) meaning 'contract' and 약 (約) meaning 'agreement' or 'promise'.

📝Usage Notes

In formal contexts, '계약' is often used interchangeably with '계약서' (contract document).
