"바보" meaning in All languages combined

See 바보 on Wiktionary

Noun [Korean]

IPA: [ˈpa̠(ː)bo̞] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: babo [romanization]
Etymology: First attested in James Scarth Gale's Korean-English Dictionary, 1897. The etymology is unclear. The second element is clearly the derogatory agentive suffix 보 (-bo) (cf. 먹— (meok-, “to eat”) > 먹보 (meokbo, “glutton”)), but the first element is uncertain. Two hypotheses have been suggested (Cho Hang-beom 2019, pp. 161—164): * Dropping of the final consonant in 밥 (bap, “rice; food”), with the original meaning of "one who does nothing but eat". There is a vowel length mismatch, however, although this could be compensatory for the consonant loss. * A connection to 바사기 (basagi, “idiot”), ultimately from Chinese 八朔 (bā shuò, “eight months”), with premature birth implied. The dropping of the final syllables is not clearly motivated, however.
