Etymology

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean 보로ᇝ〮ᄃᆞᆯ〮 (Yale: pwòlwóm-s-tól).

From 보름 (boreum, “fifteenth day of the lunar month”) +‎ ㅅ (-s-, genitive interfix; omitted from the spelling, but this causes the tense phonation of the following consonant) +‎ 달 (dal, “moon”).

Pronunciation

• (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA^(key): [po̞ɾɯmt͈a̠ɭ]
