Etymology 1 edit
From Middle Korean 이〮여〮 (Yale: -í-yé), from Old Korean 亦 (*-ye), 也 (*-ye).
Note that there is no Old or Middle Korean evidence that the first syllable is supposed to be the copula 이다 (-ida); the honorific form 이시여 (-isiyeo), which would suggest such an origin, is first attested only in the twentieth century.[1]
