  "etymology_text": "Unknown. The word is attested for the first time only in dictionaries of colloquial Korean published by Europeans in the 1890s, suggesting that it was a very recent neologism at that point. These dictionaries define the word as referring to any elder sibling of the same gender, instead of the female-exclusive word it is now. A number of etymologies attempt to connect the word to fifteenth-century Middle Korean morphemes, but these are clearly impossible given that none of these morphemes were productive by the late nineteenth century. A connection to Japanese 兄 (ani, “older brother”) is tempting but unlikely, given that there were few linguistic contacts between colloquial Korean and Japanese until the 1900s.\nPerhaps the most reasonable hypothesis is the one given by Ito (2020), that it originated from an intentionally childish pronunciation of 형님 (hyeongnim, “older sibling”).",
