Noun

IPA: [ˈtɯ(ː)ŋɕʰin] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: deungsin [romanization], 等神 [hanja]
Etymology: Sino-Korean word from 等 (“equate”) + 神 (“deity; spirit”), originally referring to a figurine of a spirit or goblin. The meaning appears to have changed because these figurines were perceived as being unable to do anything (Cho Hang-bum 2019, pp. 158—159).
