Etymology[edit]

Uncertain, although clearly a compound *나막 (*namak) +‎ (sin, shoes) wherein the first component is related to 나무 (namu, tree). This first component is sometimes theorized to reflect a pre-Middle Korean form of 나무 (namu) such as *nămăɣ[1] or *namok,[2] though there are no attested forms in Middle or Old Korean to support such claims.

First attested in the Nammyeongjip eonhae (南明集諺解 / 남명집언해), 1482, as Middle Korean 나모신〮 (Yale: nàmwòsín). Also attested in the Gwang jaemulbo (廣才物譜 / 광재물보), 19th century, as Early Modern Korean 나무신 (Yale: namwusin).

With the velar: First attested in the Gukhan hoehwa (國韓會話 / 국한회화), 1895, as Early Modern Korean 나막신 (Yale: namaksin). Also attested in the Gukhan hoehwa (國韓會話 / 국한회화), 1895, as Early Modern Korean 나목신 (Yale: namwoksin).
