풍기다

First attested in the Bullyu dugongbu si eonhae (分類杜工部詩諺解 / 분류두공부시언해), 1481, as Middle Korean ᄲᅮᆷ기〮다〮 (Yale: spwùm-kí-tá), a derived passive form of Middle Korean ᄲᅮᆷ〮다〮 (spwúmtá) (whence Korean 뿜다 (ppumda)).

However, Middle Korean 품기〮다〮 (phwùm-kí-tá), a variant attested in the 16th century, is the likely direct ancestor of the modern form.
