Etymology

    Etymology tree
    Proto-Indo-European *h₂weh₁-der.
    Proto-Indo-Iranian *HwaHyúš
    Sanskrit वायु (vāyu)
    Prakrit 𑀙𑀟𑀸 (chaḍā)?
    Hindi छार (chār)?
    Hindi छाड़ (chāṛ)?
    Hindi बौछार (bauchār)

    A compound with the first element being Sanskrit वायु (vāyu, “wind”).[1] For the second component, perhaps:

    • From Prakrit 𑀙𑀟𑀸 (chaḍā, “drop, lightning”), from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀙𑀝𑁆 (*chaṭ).[2] Compare छड़ना (chaṛnā, “to sift”).
    • From छार (chār, “mass, lump, clod”), from Prakrit 𑀙𑀟𑀸 (chaḍā, “mass, lump”).
    • From छाड़ (chāṛ, “vomit”), from Prakrit 𑀙𑀟𑁆𑀟𑀺 (chaḍḍi, “vomiting sickness”), from Sanskrit छर्दि (chardi, “expulsion”).
    • Dasa suggests Sanskrit दरित (darita, “timid”) but this does not make sense.

    Pronunciation

    • (Delhi) IPA(key): /bɔː.t͡ʃʰɑːɾ/, [bɔː.t͡ʃʰäːɾ]
