Etymology

First attested in the Hanjungnok (閑中錄 / 한중록), 1805, as Early Modern Korean ᄯᅳ겁다 (Yale: stukep-ta).[1]

From (tteu) +‎ (-geop, intensifying adjective-deriving suffix), the first element being from an analysis of 뜨뜻하다 (tteutteuthada, to be warm) as a reduplication of the morpheme (tteu). Compare 심심하다 (simsimhada, to be not salty) > 싱겁다 (singgeopda, to be bland, to be insipid (of food)) via the same process.[1]

Partly displaced 덥다 (deopda, to be hot), which is now largely reserved for the weather.[1]
