살리다

Korean

Etymology 1

살 (sal-, “to live”) + 리 (-ri-, causative suffix) + 다 (-da, suffix conventionally given for citation forms).

First attested in the eighteenth century as a newly derived causative form of 살다 (salda, “to live”), displacing the Middle Korean causative verbs 살이〮다〮 (Yale: sàlGí-tá, “to cause to reside at a place”) and 사ᄅᆞ다〮 (Yale: sàlò-tá, “to bring to life; to rescue”).
