Korean edit

Etymology edit

From Middle Korean 닉숙다 (Yale: nikswuk-ta), from 닉— (Yale: nik-, whence modern 익— (ik-, to be skilled/familiar)) + 숙(熟) (Yale: swuk) + —다 (Yale: -ta). Speakers have later inserted the adjective-deriving suffix 하다 (-hada), first attested in the late Early Modern period.

Equivalent to modern 익숙 (iksuk) +‎ 하다 (-hada, to do, light verb deriving adjectives).
