Etymology

[edit]

The first element is a corruption of Sino-Korean (, eum, “shade; yin”). The second element is a cranberry morpheme also found in the antonym 양(陽)달 (yangdal, sunny spot). It has been speculatively connected to pseudo-Goguryeo (*tal), apparently meaning “mountain; high” in ancient place name glosses from the Samguk Sagi. The same element may potentially be found in 비탈 (bital, slope), where the first element is (bit-, to be sloped).
