Etymology

First attested in the Dong'ui bogam (東醫寶鑑 / 동의보감), 1613, as Early Modern Korean 딜위 (Yale: tilwuy), derived from 디르다 (Yale: tilu-ta, “to poke, to pierce”, now modern 찌르다 (jjireuda)), in reference to the thorns of the rose. The second vowel is irregular and was probably influenced by the agentive suffix (-ge).
