모이

Etymology
Attested somewhat later in the eighteenth century as. From reconstructed, from pre-Middle Korean. The majority of modern dialects still preserve the ancestral form.

While not directly attested in Middle Korean, the Middle Korean verb is clearly related. The ancestral word appears to have meant "feed; fodder" in general, not specific either to cattle or poultry. The semantics narrowed to "feed for poultry" in most modern dialects, but to "cattle" in Middle Korean and also in the modern, where means "fodder for cattle".

Noun

 * 1) feed for poultry
