Traditionally derived from the root व्यञ्ज् (vyañj, “to anoint thoroughly, manifest”) +‎ -ति (-ti).^[1] However, according to Mayrhofer, rather from the root व्यञ्च् (vyañc, “to make wide”) +‎ -ति (-ti), particularly invoking the base root अञ्च् (añc)'s sense of "to unfold, make clear"; that said, Mayrhofer admits that derivatives of the two different roots are difficult to separate,^[2] and it is therefore possible that both morphological paths have collapsed and converged onto the same term in this case.
