Etymology

[edit]

뻐꾹 (ppeokkuk, cuckoo, onomatopoeia of the bird's cry) +‎ (-i, noun-deriving suffix). A recent, perhaps late nineteenth-century Central Korean innovation that displaced older 뻐꾹새 (ppeokkuksae), which still survives in many dialects. Because Standard Korean reflects mid-twentieth century Seoul Korean, this word was established as the prescriptive standard.
