AB - This paper provides a detailed examination of the form, syntactic characteristics, and semantic traits of ‘Deoduida’ as it appears in literature data from the 15th century to the early 20th century. The diachronic change pattern of ‘Deoduida’ has not been clearly delineated, as ‘Deoduida’ is also used as a form of ‘Deodida’ in Contemporary Korean, possessing adjective qualities primarily signifying ‘slow’ or ‘ late’. However, ‘Deoduida’ differes not only in form but also in syntactic and semantic characteristics from ‘Deodida’ in Contemporary Korean, as summarized below.
First, ‘Deoduida’ was consistently used from the 15th century to the early 20th century in several forms such as ‘Deodʌida’ and ‘Deodeda’. The ‘Deodida’ variant was confirmed by a few instances in data from the mid-18th century.
Secondly, ‘Deoduida’ during the medieval and modern Korean periods not only showed adjectival usage but also examples of intransitive and transitive verb usage. Additionally, the Woori-mal Big Dictionary and Joseon-mal Dictionary indicate that ‘Deoduida’ has intransitive verb usage in addition to being an adjective, while the Standard Korean Dictionary only lists it as an adjective. This suggests that ‘Deoduida’ has gradually lost its verb usage since the 20th century.
Thirdly, ‘Deoduida’ expressed detailed meanings such as: ‘1) Not moving at a rapid speed and being slow’, ‘2) The process or duration of something is long’, ‘3) It has passed beyond the predetermined time or when it is appropriate’, ‘4) To delay or prolong the progress or time of something’, and ‘5) A person’s judgment or senses are dull and not sharp.’ However, in Contemporary Korean, it seems that meanings such as 4) and 5) are no longer in use.
