köken: First attested as Late Old Korean 捺則 in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103. First attested in the Gugeupbang eonhae (救急方諺解 / 구급방언해), 1466, as Middle Korean ᄂᆞᆽ다〮 (Yale: nòc-tá). However, 15th century attestations of ᄂᆞᆽ다 (nocta) only appear in the sense "to subside (of a swelling)". The sense "to be low" only appears since the 1570s, which suggests that it is a back-formation from ᄂᆞᄌᆞᆨᄒᆞ다…

çekim: karşılaştırma humilior · üstünlük humillimus
köken: From humus + -ilis. The resemblance to Ancient Greek χθαμαλός (khthamalós) is cognate, but probably accidental, and not sufficient to assume a direct inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰemelo- (a derivative from *dʰéǵʰōm (“earth”)). Compare also Middle English dingle (“depression, hollow”) (from Old English *dyngel).
From Ottoman Turkish اوجوز (ucuz), from *učuz "cheap", from Proto-Turkic *ōču- (“get smaller”). Cognate with Old Turkic [script needed] (učuz, “easy”), Karakhanid اُجُزْ (učuz, “worthless”), Azerbaijani ucuz, etc.
