Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the Bullyu dugongbu si eonhae (分類杜工部詩諺解 / 분류두공부시언해), 1481, as Middle Korean 바독〮 (Yale: pàtwók). While not perceived as a compound by any modern speakers, most likely originally (Yale: pàth, “cultivated field”) + *돍〯 (Yale: twǒlk, “stone”, presumed dialectal variant of Seoul 돓〯 (twǒlh, stone) whence modern dialectal (dok, stone)), in reference to the checkerboard lines resembling a ploughed field and the stones used to play the game (Martin 1996, p. 36). Other etymologies for the first element have been speculatively offered but are not plausible.
