Prakrit

Etymology

    Probably of the same source as or otherwise a blend of Classical Sanskrit अण्ठते (aṇṭhate, moves) (root अण्ठ् (aṇṭh, to go, move)) or हिण्डते (hiṇḍate, wanders) (root हिण्ड् (hiṇḍ, to go, move)), both of which may be from Proto-Dravidian *aṇṭṭ- (to adhere, stick), whence Tamil அண்டு (aṇṭu, to approach) (though other theories have been proposed for अण्ठ् (aṇṭh)). Cognate with Kashmiri ہٹن (haṭun). Only prefixed 𑀑𑀳𑀝𑁆𑀝 (ohaṭṭa, gone away) is attested.
