응달

Korean

Etymology

The first element is a corruption of Sino-Korean 음 (陰, 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 達 (*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 빗 (bit-, “to be sloped”).
