Etymology

Traditionally derived from the root व्यञ्ज् (vyañj, “to anoint thoroughly, manifest”) +‎ -ति (-ti). However, according to Mayrhofer, rather from the root व्यञ्च् (vyañc, “to make wide”) +‎ -ति (-ti), particularly invoking the base root अञ्च् (añc)'s sense of "to unfold, make clear"; that said, Mayrhofer admits that derivatives of the two different roots are difficult to separate, and it is therefore possible that both morphological paths have collapsed and converged onto the same term in this case.
