Inherited from Sanskrit *हद्यति (*hadyati, passive) via analogy to forms like 𑀪𑀕𑁆𑀕 (bhagga, “broken”) ~ 𑀪𑀚𑁆𑀚𑀇 (bhajjaï, “to break”), itself from the root हद् (had), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰed- (“to defecate”). Compare the attested verb Sanskrit हदति (hadati), and Ancient Greek χέζω (khézō).
