Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Sanskrit उद्वेष्टते (udveṣṭate), from the root वेष्ट् (veṣṭ, to twist), whence also Hindi ऐंठना (a͠iṭhnā), which also alternates as ऐंड़ना (a͠iṛnā). Compare Prakrit उव्वेढइ (uvveḍhaï, to bind), although Hindi retains the expected -ठ- (-ṭha-) < *-ट्ठ- (-ṭṭha-) < -ष्ट- (-ṣṭa-) but also has irregular -मे- (-me-) < *-म्मे- (-mme-) < -द्वे- (-dve-).
