Etymology

First attested in the Bullyu dugongbu si eonhae (分類杜工部詩諺解 / 분류두공부시언해), 1481, as Middle Korean 시〯냇〯믈〮 (Yale: sǐnǎy-s-múl).

From 시내 (sinae, “stream, brook”) +‎ ㅅ (-s-, compound interfix) +‎ 물 (mul, “water”).

Pronunciation
  • (SK Standard/Seoul) IPA(key): [ˈɕʰi(ː)nɛnmuɭ] ~ [ˈɕʰi(ː)ne̞nmuɭ]
  • Phonetic hangul: [시(ː)낸물/시(ː)넨물]
