Etymology
Vṛddhi derivative of सहाय (sahāya), most likely from सह (saha) + अय (aya), with the latter part from the root इ (i), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁i-. An alternative explanation is that सहाय (sahāya) is a reborrowing from सखाय (sakhāya), a vṛddhi derivative of सखि (sakhi), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sákʰā, from Proto-Indo-European *sokʷH- (“friend, companion”), from *sekʷ- (“to follow”).
Noun
साहाय्य • (sāhāyya) stem, n
- help, succour
- sāhāyyaṃ-√kṛ and √sthā — to give assistance
