Etymology

edit

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459, as Middle Korean ᄇᆞᅀᆞ다 (Yale: pozota). An irregular reflex of /z/ as /s/ rather than deletion (or a borrowing from southeastern dialects that did not undergo the initial lenition of /s/ to /z/), probably motivated by onomatopoeia; see the related ideophones.

부수다 (busuda, “to crush”) and 바수다 (basuda, “to grind”) are a number of yin-yang vowel pairs that were originally the same word in Middle Korean.
