Korean
Etymology
뺑손 (ppaengson, meaning unclear) + 이 (-i, noun suffix). The first element is probably 빼— (ppae-, “to take out; to extricate”) + 손 (son, “hand; -er”) with nasal epenthesis, which occasionally occurs before sibilants in Korean compounds.
For the first syllable, compare 뺑줄 (ppaengjul, “string used to pull opponent's kites in kite fighting”), 뺑코 (ppaengko, “protruded nose”).
