The word Bonghaeng originally originated from the verb 奉行する, and was literally a title for receiving and carrying out a specific order when a superior gave it. Originally, magistrate was a temporary position created to supervise public affairs or palace events during the Heian period , and even originally, magistrate was a word that meant not the person in charge of this job, but the people who followed under that person.
