"봄" meaning in Korean

See in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [po̞m] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: bom [romanization]
Etymology: First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean 봄〮 (Yale: pwóm). The etymology beyond Middle Korean is not clear: * Middle Korean nouns ending in /-m/ are often substantives of verbs, but the only relevant verb is 보다〮 (Yale: pwò-tá, “to see”), which seems semantically unrelated. * Some online sources claim a connection to the element 봄 (Yale: pwom) in the Middle Korean compound verb 봄놀다 (Yale: pwom-nwolta, “to romp; to spring about in play”), whose second element is 놀〯다〮 (Yale: nwǒltá, “to play”). If valid, the semantics would be similar to English spring. It is not clear whether this has been suggested in academia. :However, it appears more likely that 봄 (Yale: pwom) is an allomorph of 봅 (pwop-), nasalized by the following /n/, as indicated by the variant spelling 봅놀다 (pwopnwolta); compare ablaut variant 붑괴다 (Yale: pwup-kwoyta, “to seethe”). * It has been tentatively proposed that this is an ancient pre-Sino-Korean borrowing from Old Chinese 芃 (OC *[b]ˤ[o]m, “luxuriant growth (of foliage)”).

The etymology beyond Middle Korean is not clear:\n* Middle Korean nouns ending in /-m/ are often substantives of verbs, but the only relevant verb is 보다〮 (Yale: pwò-tá, “to see”), which seems semantically unrelated.\n* Some online sources claim a connection to the element 봄 (Yale: pwom) in the Middle Korean compound verb 봄놀다 (Yale: pwom-nwolta, “to romp; to spring about in play”), whose second element is 놀〯다〮 (Yale: nwǒltá, “to play”). If valid, the semantics would be similar to English spring. It is not clear whether this has been suggested in academia.\n:However, it appears more likely that 봄 (Yale: pwom) is an allomorph of 봅 (pwop-), nasalized by the following /n/, as indicated by the variant spelling 봅놀다 (pwopnwolta); compare ablaut variant 붑괴다 (Yale: pwup-kwoyta, “to seethe”).\n* It has been tentatively proposed that this is an ancient pre-Sino-Korean borrowing from Old Chinese 芃 (OC *[b]ˤ[o]m, “luxuriant growth (of foliage)”).",
