나부끼다

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Bullyu dugongbu si eonhae (分類杜工部詩諺解 / 분류두공부시언해), 1481, as Middle Korean 나봇기다 (Yale: napwoskita).

Etymologically 나붓 (nabut, ideophonic stem for fluttering) + —기다 (-gida, unknown suffix). The ideophonic stem does not occur independently but is found in derived forms such as 나붓거리다 (nabutgeorida, “to repeatedly flutter”) and 나붓나붓 (nabunnabut, “flutteringly”).

The North Korean standard variant 나붓기다 (nabutgida) reflects this etymology.
