Etymology

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *delh₁- (“to split, divide”), and thus cognate with Latvian dalīt (“to split, divide”), Latin dolor.

However, Mayrhofer is skeptical of the above etymology, due to the root's lack of attestation in Vedic texts, and instead derives it from an l-form of दॄ (dṝ, “to tear, split”).

Pronunciation

(Vedic) IPA^(key): /dɐl/
(Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /d̪ɐl̪/

Root

दल् • (dal)

to split, crack, crack open
to burst

Derived terms

दल (dála, “part, division, detachment”)
