Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 믜다 (Yale: muyta), meaning "to hate; to tear into pieces; to fall off". Whether the senses are extensions of a single core meaning, or whether these are independent verbs which have simply been homophones since the earliest sources, does not appear to be clear.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈmi(ː)da̠]
  • Phonetic hangul: [(ː)]
    • Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.
