Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the Sinseon taeeuljageumdan (神仙太乙紫金丹 / 신선태을자금단), 1497, as Middle Korean 곳블 (Yale: kwospul), although this source lacks tonal marking. Also attested in the Bunmun onyeok ihaebang (分門瘟疫易解方 / 분문온역이해방), 1542, as Middle Korean 곳〮블〮 (Yale: kwóspúl).

Likely from 곻〮 (kwóh, nose) +‎ (-s-, genitive marker) +‎ 블〮 (púl, fire), although rarely perceived as such by modern speakers.
