Beyond Hangul sources, recorded as 嘉俳 (*kapoy) in the Samguk Yusa, 1280s, possibly derived from the unattested verbal root *kapo- ("to be in the middle", see 갑다 (-gapda, suffix to make adjective) and Hamgyeong dialect 갑다 (gapda, “to be full, to fill, to brim (with), to become filled”)) and the nominal suffix *-i, and thus cognate to 가운데 (gaunde).

However, the great majority of Korean speakers today believe that the word is from 몇 (myeot, “how many”) + 일 (日, il, “day”), connecting it to a Sino-Korean word common in Modern Korean rather than the etymologically accurate but no longer productive Proto-Korean form. Accordingly, 몇일 (myeochil) is a very common misspelling.

First attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean 불휘〮 (Yale: pwùlhwúy), from pre-Middle Korean *pwùlùkwúy. Most dialectal forms that superficially appear to have preserved */-k-/ have actually just appended various suffixes with /-k-/ to 뿌리 (ppuri). However, the sporadic Gyeongsang forms that begin with 뿔ㄱ (ppulg-), such as 뿔개이 (ppulgaei), represent a genuine archaism of the */-k-/.
Beyond Middle Korean, the Korean word was borrowed at some point by Jurchens/Manchus as Manchu ᡶᡠᠯᡝᡥᡝ (fulehe, “root”); contrast with native Tungusic ᡩᠠ (da, “root”). See the Manchu entry for more.

철학

[t͡ɕʰʌ̹ɾɦa̠k̚]

Sino-Korean word from 哲學, from 哲 (“wise”) + 學 (“study”). Orthographic borrowing from Japanese 哲学 (tetsugaku), which was coined by Nishi Amane in 1874.
First attested in Korean in 1888, but apparently only truly popularized after the establishment of the Japanese protectorate in 1905. The earliest known attestation of the word clearly equivalent to the Western sense of "philosophy" dates to 1906. James Scarth Gale's English-Korean dictionary translated philosophy only as 리학 (理學, rihak) in its 1897 edition. In a 1911 republishing, Gale added 철학, becoming the first dictionary to attest the term.
The Korean scholar Yu Kil-chun, writing before the adoption of the Japanese term, variously described Western philosophers as engaging in 도덕학 (道德學, dodeokhak) for e.g. Socrates and Plato, 궁리학 (窮理學, gungnihak) for e.g. Aristotle and Hegel, and 성리학 (性理學, seongnihak) for e.g. William Hamilton and Herbert Spencer. These terms were largely displaced by 철학 and other standard Japanese usages.
