Etymology

Compound of बृहस् (bṛhas, genitive singular of बृह् (bṛh, “prayer; devotion”)) +‎ पति (páti, “lord”). The origin of the first element stems from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerǵʰ- (“to rise up”), with the original meaning being "to increase, enlarge, grow"; it went through a semantic shift from "to increase" > "to encompass" > "the encompassing one" > "the divine" > "praying, devotion (to the divine)".

Pronunciation

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /bŕ̩.ɦɐs.pɐ́.t̪i/
• (Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /br̩.ɦɐs̪.pɐ.t̪i/
