- Ssaurabi
Ssaurabi (싸울아비) is a Modern Korean compound which literally means a father who is to fight. In
South Korea , it is a popularfalse etymology of Japanese "samurai " along with "samurang ".Fact|date=June 2008It is not clear when this term was coined. Its earliest known usage is of 1983: Kim Yong Woon, who specialized in mathematical history, said in his book titled "Kankokujin to Nihonjin" [Kim Yong Woon 金容雲: "Kankokujin to Nihonjin" 韓国人と日本人 (The Koreans and the Japanese), pp. 113-115, 1983: ] :It is said, "Saul" to fight in Korean, and says, "Abi" a man. When "Man who fights" is expressed in Korean, it becomes "Saulabi". It is thought that there seem to be "Samurai" of Japan and Korean "Saulabi" and something connection when it is said to be scolded by an amateur idea in the resolution when the leap passes. (omission)In Japan, the Saulabi spirit that had already disappeared in South Korea was absorbed ..becoming.. with an untouched Samurai spirit. However, even if the sound change from "Saurabi" to "Samurai" is seen in linguistics and seen in unnaturally, and Korea and the language study, "ssaul" is present age accidence to begin with. The fact that is "saho-da" in a mid-term Korean language is not considered at all, and this theory is enumerated as one sample that a peculiar wish to the South Korean becomes a historical fact as there is no historical proof of evidence's in the document that the becoming it word existed not existing of course and either having spread the samurai from Korea to Japan the history academically at all. Actually, there are few people who believe the South Korea origin theory also in South Korea.Fact|date=June 2008
The term "ssaurabi" earned recognition among South Koreans in 1990s possibly because the Korean editions of the "
Samurai Shodown " series (fighting games) were released under the name of "Ssaurabi Tuhon" (싸울아비 투혼 literally "Ssaurabi fighting spirits").Fact|date=June 2008Some Korean martial art organizations claim that the ssaurabi were warriors of
Baekje , a kingdom in southwestern Korea and that the Japanese samurai originated from the ssaurabi.

Linguistically, it is hard to explain the similarity between "ssaurabi" and "samurai" with regular correspondences between Korean and Japanese.Who|date=June 2008Fact|date=June 2008 Anachronism becomes clearer when examining the older form of "ssauda".Fact|date=June 2008 Since this verb appears as "sahoda" in Middle Korean documents, "ssaurabi" would be "sahorabi" in Middle Korean although no usage is known.Fact|date=June 2008
