# 모시
## Korean
### Etymology 1

First attested in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103, as Late Old Korean 毛施 (Yale: mwòsì).
In the hangul script, first attested in the Gugeupganibang eonhae (救急簡易方諺解 / 구급간이방언해), 1489, as Middle Korean 모시 (Yale: mwòsì).
Compare Japanese 苧(むし) (mushi, “ramie”), possibly a borrowing from Korean into Japanese.

#### Pronunciation

* (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA: [mo̞ɕʰi]
* Phonetic hangul: [모시]
* South Gyeongsang (Busan) pitch accent: 모시의 / 모시에 / 모시까지Syllables in red take high pitch. This word always takes high pitch only on the second syllable, except before consonant-initial multisyllabic suffixes, when it takes full low pitch.

#### Noun

모시 • (mosi)
* ramie fabric, ramie cloth
* ramie plant
    Synonym: 모시풀 (mosipul)

### Etymology 2

Sino-Korean word from 某時, from 某 (“certain”) + 時 (“time, hour”).

#### Pronunciation

* (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA: [ˈmo̞(ː)ɕʰi]
* Phonetic hangul: [모(ː)시]
** Though still prescribed in Standard Korean, most speakers in both Koreas no longer distinguish vowel length.

#### Noun

모시 • (mosi) (hanja 某時)
* some hour, a certain hour (often used to substitute a specific hour, either for anonymity or to generalize the situation)
    모월 모일 모시에 ― mowol moil mosie ― at some hour in some day in some month

### Etymology 3

See the main entry at 모이 (moi).

#### Pronunciation

* (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA: [mo̞ɕʰi]
* Phonetic hangul: [모시]
* South Gyeongsang (Busan) pitch accent: 모시의 / 모시에 / 모시까지Syllables in red take high pitch. This word always takes high pitch only on the first syllable, and lowers the pitch of subsequent suffixes.

#### Noun

모시 • (mosi)
* Dialectal form of 모이 (moi, “feed for poultry”)
* (Gyeongsang, figurative) snacks for children
* (Yukjin) fodder for cattle
    Synonym: (Standard Seoul) 여물 (yeomul)
