바보

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.

Sino-Korean word from 麒麟. The archaic sense of legendary animal is attested in the two-millennia old Confucianist Classic of Rites that reads bonghwang-girin (鳳凰麒麟). Since Admiral Zheng He brought a giraffe from Somalia to China in 1414, this Hanja word was equated with Somali geri or the like meaning "giraffe" then (See Citations:기린), which on the other hand may have influenced the etymology of Italian giraffa (since Medici giraffe in 1486) and its European derivatives via Arabic زَرَافَة (zarāfa).
