醒来

• 병음: xǐng lái
• 한자 분석: 醒 = 酉 + 星 (awake/sober up); 来 = directional complement marking resultative completion

뜻

깨어나다; 의식을 되찾다

A verb-complement construction where 来 marks completion of the waking process. Used both literally (from sleep) and medically (from anaesthesia or a coma). More specific than 醒 alone.
