마파람

Korean

Etymology

Equivalent to 마 (ma, “south”) +‎ 바람 (baram, “wind”). The aspiration in the second syllable suggests that in Middle Korean, the first component had a final /h/ as in *맣 (*mah).

Thus possibly from 맣〮 (máh, “monsoon”) +‎ ᄇᆞᄅᆞᆷ (pòlòm, “wind”) as in the wind that brings the monsoon, although this usage is not attested in the Middle Korean corpus.
