하야믜다

Middle Korean

Etymology

Some compound wherein the last component is tied to 믜〮다〮 (“to tear”), likely with a terminal passivizer 이〮 (-í-, passive suffix).

Semantically, the first component seems related to the root *ᄒᆡ (*hoy-) as in ᄒᆞ야〮디〮다〮 (hòyátítá, “to wear out”), though the vowel mismatch is difficult to explain. Compare ᄒᆡ〮다〮 (hóytá, “to be white”) and 하〮야〮ᄒᆞ〮다〮 (háyáhótá), demonstrating an identical vowel alternation.
