Etymology
From Early Modern Korean 다ᄋᆞᆷ (taom), 다음 (taum). Although it is unclear, it may have originated from a lenited form of Middle Korean *다ᄉᆞᆷ (*tasom), which is a cranberry morpheme: it is only attested as the first element of Middle Korean 다ᄉᆞᆷ어미 (tasomemi, “stepmother”). In that case, it may be cognate with Korean 다시 (dasi, “again”). Compare Jeju 다심 (dasim, “next”).
Another hypothesis suggests that it comes from the gerund form of 다ᄋᆞ다〮 (tàòtá, “to exhaust, fulfill”), but the semantic connection is dubious.
