Middle Korean
Etymology
만〯 (mǎn, element unproductive in isolation) + ᄒᆞ다〮 (hòtá, light verb deriving verbs and adjectives).
The first element is usually, though somewhat speculatively, connected to Sino-Korean 萬 (mǎn, “ten thousand; myriad; (figuratively) countless”). The likelihood of a Sinitic derivation is strengthened both by the light verb construction and the synonymous and clearly native adjective 하다〮 (hàtá).
Pronunciation
Adjective
만〯ᄒᆞ다〮 (mǎn-hòtá) (infinitive 만〯ᄒᆞ야〮, sequential 만〯ᄒᆞ니〮)
- (less common) to be many
- Synonym: (more common) 하다〮 (hàtá)
