Etymology

[edit]

    Uncertain. Sanskrit क्षोट् (kṣoṭ, to throw) and क्षोटयति (kṣoṭayati, throws) are likely Sanskritizations.[1][2]

    Tedesco derives the root as a back-formation from *𑀉𑀘𑁆𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝- (*uc-chuṭṭa-), from Sanskrit उत्सृष्ट (utsṛṣṭa, let loose), from उत्- (ut-, upon) +‎ सृष्ट (sṛṣṭa, let go, discharged, thrown).[3] to be descended from the Prakrit root in the "release" sense, but leaves the origin of the "leave" sense open, explaining the pigeonholing of both meanings onto छोड़ (choṛ) as a case of secondary semantic leveling.
