Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀕𑀟𑁆𑀟 (gaḍḍa), 𑀕𑀟𑁆𑀟𑀻 (gaḍḍī), from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀕𑀸𑀟𑁆𑀟- (*gāḍḍa-), which Das derives from Sanskrit गान्त्री (gāntrī),[1] the feminine variant of गन्तृ (gantṛ), a compound of गम् (gam, "to go, move") +‎ -तृ (-tṛ), while Turner disagrees, and draws comparisons to Sanskrit गर्त (garta, hole) and/or Latin cathedra (armchair).[2]
