Etymology edit

First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean ᄃᆞ리〮다〮 (Yale: tòlí-tá).

The expected modern reflex is 다리다 (darida). This is the primary attested form into the nineteenth century, albeit written in the conservative spelling ᄃᆞ리다 (darida), but is now only used dialectally. At some point before c. 1900 in Standard Korean, the word underwent an irregular shift first to 더리다 (deorida) (whence the particle 더러 (-deoreo)), and thence to 데리다 (derida) by somewhat regular umlaut (provoked by /i/).
