Etymology

/*kwatupatu//kwappat͡su//kappat͡su/

Probably from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle Chinese compound 活發活发 (kwat pjot, literally to live + to send forth).

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “seems to be from 活潑; therefore the kyujitai and this etymology is bogus”)
