Prakrit 𑀧𑀺𑀝𑁆𑀝𑁂𑀇

    Inherited from Sanskrit पिट्टयति (piṭṭayati, “to stamp into a solid mass”), with further etymology uncertain; possibly a denominal verb from पि॒ष्ट (piṣṭá, “crushed”) with unexplained deaspiration.[1] The Sanskrit term may be reborrowed from Prakrit. A relation to Sanskrit पिच्चयति (piccayati, “to press flat”), पिं॒शति॑ (piṃśáti, “to grind”) seems plausible.
