집다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Nammyeongjip eonhae (南明集諺解 / 남명집언해), 1482, as Middle Korean 집다 (Yale: cipta).

Possibly from earlier *cyup-ta, based on a vowel alternation from pre-Middle Korean *cyop-ta (“to pick”) reconstructed from words such as Middle Korean 져봄 (cyepwom, “handful”), 죡졉개 (cyokcyepkay, “tweezers”), and Jeju ᄌᆞᆸ다 (jawpda, “to pick”).[1]
