Etymology[edit]
From 부엉 (bueong, “hoot”, onomatopoeia) + 이 (-i, noun-deriving suffix).
First attested in the Hunminjeong'eum haerye (訓民正音解例 / 훈민정음해례), 1446, as Middle Korean 부〮허ᇰ (Yale: pwúhèng). The Middle Korean term lacked the suffix, and the bird was referred to directly by the sound of its call.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [puʌ̹ŋi]
- Phonetic hangul: [부엉이]
