થાકવું

Gujarati

Etymology

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀣𑀓𑁆𑀓𑀤𑀺 (thakkadi), perhaps from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀲𑁆𑀣𑀓𑁆𑀓𑁆 (*sthakk, “stop, halt”), and further perhaps from Sanskrit स्थग् (sthag, “to cover, hide”); compare Sanskrit स्थगितगिर् (sthagitagir, “with speech impeded”), from the same root. Cognate with Hindustani تَھکْنَا / थकना (thaknā), Nepali थाक्नु (thāknu), Maithili थाकब (thākab) / 𑒟𑒰𑒏𑒥 (thākaba), Punjabi ਥਕਣਾ (thakṇā), ਥੱਕਣਾ (thakkaṇā) / تھکݨا (thkṇā), Sindhi ٿَڪَڻُ / थकणु, Marathi थकणे (thakṇe), Bengali থাকা (thaka), Assamese থকা (thoka), থাকা (thaka).
