Etymology

Of uncertain origin. Leumann derives the root from a phonetic dissimilation of मन्द् (mand, “to rejoice, gladden”) after a labial prefix, for example, अभिमन्द् (abhimand, “to gladden”) > अभिनन्द् (abhinand, “to please, rejoice at”).

Pronunciation

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /nɐnd/
• (Classical) IPA^(key): /n̪ɐn̪d̪/

Root

नन्द् • (nand)

1. to rejoice, delight, glee
2. to be pleased or satisfied with, be glad of
3. to make glad, gladden
