Korean
Etymology
Uncertain, although clearly a compound *나막 (*namak) + 신 (sin, “shoes”) wherein the first component is related to 나무 (namu, “tree”). This first component is sometimes theorized to reflect a pre-Middle Korean form of 나무 (namu) such as *nămăɣ[1] or *namok,[2] though there are no attested forms in Middle or Old Korean to support such claims.
First attested as Middle Korean 나모신〮 (nàmwòsín) in the Nammyeongjip eonhae (南明集諺解 / 남명집언해), 1482. Also attested as Early Modern Korean 나무신 (namwusin) in the Gwang jaemulbo (廣才物譜 / 광재물보), 19th century.
With the velar, only first attested as Early Modern Korean 나막신 (namaksin) in the Gukhan hoehwa (國韓會話 / 국한회화), 1895. Also attested as Early Modern Korean 나목신 (namwoksin) in the same work.
