뒤집다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Eulbyeong yeonhaengnok (乙丙燕行錄/ 을병연행록), 1766, as Early Modern Korean 뒤딥다 (Yale: twuy-tipta). Also attested in the Eulbyeong yeonhaengnok (乙丙燕行錄/ 을병연행록), 1766, as Early Modern Korean 뒤집다 (Yale: twuy-cipta).

The first element is from Middle Korean 드위다 (Yale: tuwuyta) "to flip", but the second element is not clear. Yi Hyeon-jeong notes that 집다 (jipda, to grab) or 잡다 (japda, to catch) are both a passable semantic match, but that neither form is compatible with 딥다. As the palatalization of /ti/ to /t͡ɕi/ was ongoing in 1766 and both forms are attested in the same text, Yi speculates that 뒤딥다 is a result of hypercorrection by the writer.
