𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝

Prakrit

Etymology

Uncertain. Sanskrit क्षोट् (kṣoṭ, to throw) and क्षोटयति (kṣoṭayati, throws) are likely Sanskritizations.

Tedesco derives the root from a de-compounding of Middle Indic [script needed] (*uc-chuṭṭa-), from उत्सृष्ट (utsṛṣṭa, let loose), from उत्- (ut-, upon) + सृष्ट (sṛṣṭa, let go, discharged, thrown). He considers Hindi छोड़ना (choṛnā, to release; to leave) to be descended from the Prakrit root in the "release" sense, but leaves the origin of the "leave" sense open, explaining the pigeonholing of both meanings onto छोड़ (choṛ) as a case of secondary semantic leveling.
