==Names of the game==
The name ''Go'' is a short form of the Japanese word {{transliteration|ja|igo}} ({{lang|ja|囲碁}}; {{lang|ja|いご}}), which derives from earlier {{transliteration|ja|wigo}} ({{lang|ja|ゐご}}), in turn from [[Middle Chinese]] {{transliteration|zh|{{IPA|ɦʉi gi}}}} ({{lang|zh|圍棋}}, [[Standard Chinese|Mandarin]]: {{transliteration|zh|wéiqí}}, {{lit|encirclement board game|board game of surrounding}}). In English, the name ''Go'' when used for the game is often capitalized to differentiate it from the common word [[go (verb)|''go'']].<ref>{{cite journal|last=Gao |first=Pat |title=Getting the Go-ahead |url=http://taiwanreview.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=24319&CtNode=1360 |journal=Taiwan Review |year=2007 |volume=57 |page=55 |publisher=Kwang Hwa Publishing |location=Los Angeles, CA |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120122131232/http://taiwanreview.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=24319&CtNode=1360 |archive-date=2012-01-22}}</ref> In events sponsored by the [[Ing Chang-ki]] Foundation, it is spelled ''goe''.<ref>See, e.g., {{cite web|url=https://www.eurogofed.org/egf/ing2005.htm|title=EGF Ing Grant Report 2004-2005|publisher=[[European Go Federation]]|access-date=28 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171028201540/https://www.eurogofed.org/egf/ing2005.htm|archive-date=28 October 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Korean name {{transliteration|ko|rr|baduk}} ({{Korean|hangul=바둑|labels=no}}) is a native derived term, most likely originally consisting of 밭 ([[Yale romanization of Korean|Yale]]: pàth, “cultivated field”) + *돍〯 (Yale: twǒlk, “stone”, presumed dialectal variant of Seoul 돓〯 (twǒlh, “stone”). Less plausible etymologies include a derivation of {{transliteration|ko|Badukdok}}, referring to the playing pieces of the game, or a derivation from Chinese {{transliteration|zh|páizi}} ({{lang|zh|排子}}), meaning 'to arrange pieces'.<ref>{{cite book |last=조 |first=항범 |date=October 8, 2005 |script-title=ko:그런 우리말은 없다 |url=http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=982836&cid=85&categoryId=2641 |publisher=태학사 |isbn=9788959660148 |access-date=June 3, 2014}}</ref>
