Etymology

Inherited from Magadhi Prakrit 𑀘𑀫𑁆𑀫𑀟𑀓 (cammaḍaka), composed from 𑀘𑀫𑁆𑀫 (camma) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀟- (-ḍa-) + -𑀓- (-ka-),[1] from Sanskrit चर्म (carma), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *čárma, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kérmn̥ (“skin, hide, pelt”). Cognate with Assamese চামৰা (samora), Odia ଚମଡ଼ା (cômôṛa) and Maithili चमड़ा (camᵊṛā). Doublet of চামড়ী (camṛī, “scurf”), চামার (camar, “shoemaker, leatherworker”), চামাটি (camaṭi), চামাতি (camati, “razor-strop”), চর্মচটিকা (cormocoṭika), চামচিকা (camcika, “bat, titmouse”), and চর্ম (cormo), a tatsama.
