I thought 설날 is Seollal, not just Seol…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_New_Year

Seol 설 itself means “year of age” since it’s also the date when Koreans grow a year older. The modern Korean word for “age” – sal is derived from the same origin as seol.

Is this just a new form of abreviation?
