EN: to bow down, to prostrate
This is a very dramatic bow. It's not just a nod. It's the 'we're not worthy!' bow you do to your K-Pop idol, or what you feel like doing to the one person who approves your vacation leave. It’s an act of deep respect or surrender.
From 'yukdo' (deep bow) with the infix '-um-'.
ROOT MEANING: to bow the head (in reverence)
A formal and somewhat archaic word. Often found in religious or historical texts. More intense than 'yumuko'.
