Korean

Etymology 1

First attested in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103. as (MC bwot).

1103 (deprecated template usage) 계림유사
佛曰

Also attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 부텨 (Yale: pwuthye).

From Sanskrit बुद्ध (buddha, awakened, enlightened), past participle of बोधति (bodhati, to wake, to know), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewdʰ- (to be awake, be aware).

Compare also Manchu ᡶᡠᠴᡳᡥᡳ (fucihi, Buddha) and Japanese (hotoke, Buddha),[1] which appear to be ancient borrowings from Korean.[2]
