Etymology

Prakrit verb set
𑀝𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇 (ṭuṭṭaï)
𑀢𑁄𑀟𑁂𑀇 (toḍei)

    Denominal verb of 𑀢𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (tuṭṭa, broken) + -𑀏𑀇 (-ei), from Sanskrit *तृत्त (*tṛtta, split), from तृद् (tṛd, to cleave, split) +‎ -त (-ta).[2][3] Compare the participle तृण्ण (tṛṇṇa) with a different suffix.

    The back-formation is by analogy with Sanskrit verbs like बुद्ध (buddhá) ~ बोधयति (bodháyati). Sanskrit forms organised under the root त्रुट् (truṭ) are Sanskritisations not attested before the Classical period.
