सालन

Hindi

Etymology

Uncertain. Some theories:

  • Inherited from Sanskrit *संलेपन (saṃlepana, “smearing together”), from सम्- (sam-) +‎ लिप् (lip, “to smear”) +‎ -न (-na).[1][2]
  • Inherited from Sanskrit *संलापन (saṃlāpana), from the root ली (lī, “to attach”).[1][3]
  • Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀲𑀮𑁄𑀡 (saloṇa), 𑀲𑀮𑀽𑀡 (salūṇa), from Sanskrit सलवण (salavaṇa, “having salt”), from स- (sa-) +‎ लवण (lavaṇa). Compare सलोना (salonā, “tasty”).
