Etymology
Inherited from Old Korean 小豆 (*pos(k)), attested in the compound 狄小豆 (*twoy-pos(k), “sickle senna”) in the Hyang'yak gugeupbang (鄕藥救急方 / 향약구급방), 1236.
In the 15th century, a rare alternate form ᄑᆞᇧ〮 (phósk) is seen, and reflexes of this form still survive dialectally as in Korean 팎 (pak) (Northern Pyeongan). The alternation ch ~ sk, also seen in several other words, may hint at an earlier *ck as in *ᄑᆞᆽㄱ (*phock).
