Etymology 1

[edit]

First attested in the Hunminjeong'eum haerye (訓民正音解例 / 훈민정음해례), 1446, as Middle Korean ᄧᅡᆨ (Yale: pcak). If it had Proto-Koreanic *puca-k- form with a suffix, then further connection can be found with Proto-Japonic *puta, but this is highly speculative.

1446, 훈민정음 해례 48
ᄧᅡᆨ爲雙.
