Etymology
This Korean term directly transliterates the English name of the strait, which is named after the historic Hormuz Kingdom that once controlled trade in the Persian Gulf region.
Memory Aid
Break the phrase: 호르무즈 (Hormuz) sounds like the English name, and 해협 means 'strait' - just connect the two parts to remember the full term refers to the key Persian Gulf waterway.
