Korean

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

Seems to be borrowed from Japanese (kutsu, shoe), attestable since 759 CE, but then some Japanese sources suggest that the Japanese term may have been borrowed from Korean 구두 (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?). Compare Hamgyong Korean 구주 (guju).[1] First attested in the Daehan Maeil Sinbo (大韓每日新報 / 대한매일신보) (No. 84), 1903. The late attestation also points to a late loanword from Japanese.
