Etymology 2

    Uncertain. Perhaps from one of or a conflation of the following sources:

    • From *आ-ऋत्त (*ā-ṛtta) (see the attested variant आर्त्त (ārtta)), from आ- (ā-) +‎ अर्द् (ard, dissolve; vex, root) +‎ -त (-ta). This is semantically reasonable but phonologically irregular.[2][3]
    • From *आ-ऋत (*ā-ṛta), from आ- (ā-) +‎ (, go, move, root) +‎ -त (-ta); the root ultimately derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₃er-. Compare Vedic Sanskrit ऋण्वति (ā ṛṇvati, to insert; to bring), with the same root and preverb.[4] Note that ऋ॒त (ṛtá) also has a meaning "afflicted" attested, although this is later than its usual meaning of "proper".

    By surface analysis, from the root आर् (ār) +‎ -त (-ta).

    Participle

    आर्त॑ • (ā́rta) past passive participle (root आर्)

    1. past participle of आर् (ār)

    Adjective

    आर्त॑ • (ā́rta) stem

    1. distressed, afflicted
    Descendants
    • Pali: aṭṭa (worried, distressed)
    • Prakrit: 𑀅𑀢𑁆𑀢 (atta, pained), 𑀅𑀝𑁆𑀝 (aṭṭa)
      • Northwestern Indo-Aryan:
      • Southern Indo-Aryan:
        • Marathi: अटणे (aṭṇe)

    In the sense "contained", which is unattested but perhaps reflects the latter etymology.[5]

    • ? Dardic:
      • Palula: aṭíi (to bring, give birth)
    • ? Prakrit: *𑀅𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇 (*aṭṭaï, to contain) (see there for further descendants)
