Middle Korean

Etymology

Apparently derived from Old Korean 厚菜 (*hwuchoy), in turn possibly from Middle Chinese 韭菜 (MC kjuwX tshojH, literally “garlic chive vegetable”).

The initial consonant *h < *k in the Old Korean form is not seen in Middle Korean or any modern-day reflex, which universally contain p or ph (as in dialectal Korean 푸추 (puchu), 푼추 (punchu)). This cannot be explained by regular sound changes.

(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
