First attested in the Dong'ui bogam (東醫寶鑑 / 동의보감), 1613, as Early Modern Korean갓(Yale: kas), plausibly an ancient pre-Sino-Korean borrowing from Old Chinese芥 (OC *kreːds, “mustard plant”).[1] The Sino-Korean reading is 개 (芥, gae).
First attested in the Daemyeongnyul jikhae (대명률직해 / 大明律直解) [The Correct Translation of the Great Ming Code], 1395, in the hungaja form 枝(literally “branch”), to be understood that this word is to be pronounced similarly to the Middle Korean word for "branch", 갖 (Yale: kac).
