Etymology

Inherited from Sanskrit आदेश (ādeśa, “advice, instruction”). It might be a semantic loan from Sanskrit आदेश (ādeśa, “substituted form or letter”), but the construction is different.

Noun

ādesa m

1. pointing out
2. (grammar) substitution
   • c. 500 AD, Kaccāyana, Pālivyākaraṇaṃ [Pali Grammar]‎^[1], page 12; republished as Satish Chandra Acharyya Vidyabhusana, editor, Kaccayana's Pali Grammar (edited in Devanagari character and translated into English), Calcutta, Bengal: Mahabodhi Society, 1901:

     ध इच्चेतस्स सरे परे क्वचि दकारादेसो होति।

     Dha iccetassa sare pare kvaci dakārādeso hoti.

     'Dh': Sometimes there is a change to 'd' for this next to another vowel.
