Etymology 2

First attested in the Seokbo sangjeol (釋譜詳節 / 석보상절), 1447, as Middle Korean ᄃᆞᆮ다〮 (Yale: tòt-tá).

Miller (1996) argued that this was from Altaic *tär₂- (compare Old Turkic (täz-), Chuvash тар (tar), Mongolian (tergele-)). Starostin (2003, pg. 1466) connected this to Altaic *t`otá-, whence also Tungus-Manchu *tut- ("to run") (whence Evenki tutu- ("to crawl away")) and Japanese (ただよ) (tadayou, to float). The very concept of Proto-Altaic is, however, controversial.
