First attested in the Eobu sasisa (漁父四時詞 / 어부사시사), 1651, as Early Modern Korean 바탕 (Yale: pathang), probably reflecting the Jeolla dialect of Bogil Island (甫吉島 / 보길도) where the poet Yun Seon-do, although a Seoul Korean speaker, then had his residence. The modern islanders still use the 바탕 (batang) form in certain compounds, e.g. 괴깃바탕 (goegitbatang, “sea full of fish”), although they generally now say 바닥 (badak).

For more, see the main entry at 바다 (bada). The /-ŋ/ likely preserves the velar nature of the ancestral coda.
