착하다

Etymology
combining adjective-forming, with cranberry morpheme. Equivalent to modern.

Other than this unusually early attestation, the word only reappears after c. 1700. The original manuscript of the Gyechuk ilgi is lost and the versions that currently survive may have been subject to edits to the manuscript several decades to more than a century later, and Kim Yang-jin 2015 argues that this word is actually a late seventeenth-century loan-calque from, with being translated to its Korean equivalent.

Alternatively, perhaps derived from the ideophone, or the homophonous ideophone.
