•to be recurrent

Etimoloji

시(時) (si, “time, hour”, Sino-Korean word) + -도 (-do, “even”) + 때 (ttae, “time, moment”, native Korean word) + -도 (-do, “even”) + 없다 (eopda, “to be without”): "to be without [a specific] hour or moment [for it to occur]" > "to occur at any moment, to be recurrent". Compare 한(限)도 끝도 없다 (han-do kkeut-do eopda), again juxtaposing a Sino-Korean word with a native synonym for emphasis.
