📅🌙 달력 = 달 (moon, month) + 력 (曆, calendar reckoning): moon-reckoning

달 is the native Korean word for both moon and month, and 력 comes from the hanja 曆, meaning calendar or the counting of days. A calendar is literally the system that keeps count of the moons. The same 력 appears in 양력 (solar calendar) and 음력 (lunar calendar).
