거칠다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Worin seokbo (月印釋譜 / 월인석보), 1459. as Middle Korean 거츨다 (kechulta), from reconstructed Old Korean *kechil-, hypothesized on the evidence of proper noun alternation in the twelfth-century history Samguk sagi where the phonogramic sequence (*kɨʌ t͡sʰiɪt̚) alternates with the logogram (uncultivated) in the names of places and individuals.[1]
