Etymology 1

From Middle Korean ᄎᆔ〯ᄒᆞ다〮 (Yale: cywǔy-hòtá).

취(醉) (chwi, “drunken”) +‎ 하다 (-hada, “to do”, light verb deriving active verbs).

Verb

취하다 • (chwihada) (infinitive 취해 or 취하여, sequential 취하니, hanja 醉하다) (intransitive)

1. to get drunk, to become intoxicated

   오늘 밤은 술에 취하지 말거라.

   Oneul bam-eun sur-e chwihaji malgeora.

   [You] better not get drunk tonight.

   • 1812, “Song 247”, in 청구영언 장서각본/靑丘永言藏書閣本 [Jangseogak edition of the Cheonggu yeong'eon]:

     酒(쥬)色(ᄉᆡᆨ)을 삼가란 말이 녯사ᄅᆞᆷ의 警(경)誡(계)로되
     踏(답)靑(쳥) 登(등)高(고)節(졀)에 벗님네 ᄃᆞ리고 詩(시)句(구)를 읇흘 제 滿(만)樽(쥰)香(향)醪(료)를 아니 醉(취)코 어이 ᄒᆞ며
     旅(녀)館(관)에 寒(한)燈(등)을 對(ᄃᆡ)ᄒᆞ여 獨(독)不(불)眠(면)ᄒᆞᆯ 적의 玉(옥)人(인)을 만나 아니 자고 어이 ᄒᆞ리

     jyusaeg-eul samgaran mar-i nyetsaram-ui gyeonggye-rodoe
     dapchyeong deunggojyeor-e beonnim-ne darigo sigu-reul eulpeul je manjyunhyangnyo-reul ani chwiko eoi hamyeo
     nyeogwan-e handeung-eul daehayeo dokbulmyeonhal jeog-ui ogin-eul manna ani jago eoi hari

     Though it is the warning of the old to refrain from women and wine
     when I recite poems with my friends on the Double Third and Double Ninth, with a gobletful of fragrant wine about, what could I do if not get drunk
     and when I face the cold lamps at some inn—alone unable to sleep—and I meet a jade-like beauty then, what could I do if not sleep with her?

2. (figuratively) to be intoxicated, to be enchanted (by), to be immersed (in)

   Synonym: 도취(陶醉)하다 (dochwihada)

   그녀의 아름다움에 흠뻑 취했다.

   Geunyeo-ui areumdaum-e heumppeok chwihaetda.

   [He] was hopelessly enchanted by her beauty.

   음악에 취하다 ― eumag-e chwihada ― to “get lost” in the music
