Etymology 2
[edit]Of uncertain origin.
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weh₂-mós, from *h₁weh₂- (“to leave”); related to ऊन (ūna, “deficient, wanting”).
Alternatively, perhaps a semantic extension of Etymology 1, using the meaning of "lovely" to euphemistically refer to the "normally inauspicious left side", though the semantic shift is not very obvious.
See also वामन (vāmana).
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]वाम • (vāma) stem
- left, not right, being or situated on the left side (the quivering of the left eye or arm is supposed to be a good omen in women and of the left arm a bad omen in men)
- reverse, adverse, contrary, opposite, unfavorable
- crooked, oblique (अम् ind. sideways)
- refractory, coy (in love)
- acting in the opposite way or differently
- hard, cruel
- vile, wicked, base, low, bad
