Etymology

Etymology tree
Proto-Indo-Iranian *gʰáršati
Proto-Indo-Aryan *gʰárṣati
Sanskrit घर्ष॑ति (ghárṣati)der.
Sanskrit *घृषति (*ghṛṣati)
Prakrit 𑀖𑀲𑀇

    Inherited from Sanskrit *घृषति (*ghṛṣati), from घर्ष॑ति (ghárṣati), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *gʰárṣati, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *gʰáršati. Doublet of 𑀖𑀸𑀲𑀇 (ghāsaï).

    Given the short vowel in this term and variable root vowel in descendants, the Sanskrit etymon must be a class 6 verb with the root grade *घृषति (*ghṛṣati), rather than the attested class 1 verb with guṇa grade घर्ष॑ति (ghárṣati).[1]
