Prakrit

Etymology

Etymology tree
Sanskrit ख॒दि॒र (khadirá)bf.?
Sanskrit खद् (khad)der.?
Prakrit *𑀔𑀟

    Uncertain. Perhaps from Sanskrit खद् (khad, “to be steady, firm”) (whence ख॒दति॑ (khadáti)), undergoing unexpected retroflexion; however, that root may be a back-formation from ख॒दि॒र (khadirá).[1] Sanskrit खडक (khaḍaka, “bolt, post”) is a Prakrit reborrowing.

    Adjective

    *𑀔𑀟 (*khaḍa) (Devanagari *खड) (Proto-New Indo-Aryan)
