Etymology
From कि (ki, “interrogative particle; what”) + दृश् (dṛś, “to see, look”), the long vowel ī from analogy with ईदृश् (īdṛś, “endowed with such qualities”), i.e. "endowed with what qualities".[1] For a semantic parallel of "to see" > "object with seen qualities", albeit from a different Indo-European root, compare Latin speciēs (“view; type, quality”).
Pronunciation
- (Vedic) IPA(key): /kiː.dŕ̩ɕ/
