Etymology[edit]

@AryamanA, the etymon seems odd to me. The closest words are obviously पयस् (páyas) & पायस (pāyasa). I find it likely that the etymon for the English loanword is some intermediate, which could be Malayalam പായസം (pāyasaṁ) or Telugu పాయసం (pāyasaṁ); their forms make them good candidates. Your thoughts? —Lbdñk (talk) 17:55, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lbdñk: Definitely endorse पायस (pāyasa) as the correct etymon. Will update the etymology. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 00:10, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
