Cognate to Jejuᄊᆞ다(ssawda), Jeju싸다(ssada, “to light, to drain”). Possibly from earlier *ᅘᆢ다(*hhyota).
The base meaning seems to be 'to drag'. The sense 'to light (a fire)' probably comes from the fact that fires were typically started with a piece of steel (부시(busi)) struck or dragged on a flintstone (부싯돌(busitdol)), before matchsticks were introduced.
