Middle Korean
Etymology
Univerbation of 하〮다〮 (hátá, “to be big”) + -ㄴ (-n, realis adnominal suffix) + 숨〯 (swǔm, “breath”).
하〮다〮 (hátá) belongs to tone class H!, meaning that its realis adnominal form is generally expected to be 한 (han, “hàn”), not 한〮 (hán). However, this high tone is consistent with some other compounds, see e.g. 한〮아비〮 (hánàpí, “grandfather”).
