Pronunciation

  • (Delhi) IPA(key): /t͡ʃəɾ.t̪iː/, [t͡ʃɐɾ.t̪iː]

Etymology 1

  • Perhaps from चरना (carnā, to graze, to eat in a crude way), formed to resemble बरती (bartī), its antonym.
  • Alternatively, from चरत (carat, a day not laid down as one for fasting; not observing fast on a day laid down for fasting) +‎ -ई (). However, चरत (carat) itself is probably a back-formation from चरती (cartī).
