    Prakrit 𑀤𑁂𑀓𑁆𑀔𑀇 (dĕkkhaï)

    Inherited from Ashokan Prakrit 𑀤𑁂𑀔𑀢𑀺 (dekhati), from Sanskrit दृश् (dṛś), from Proto-Indo-European *derḱ-.

    Turner suggests that -e- developed from analogy with Sanskrit प्रेक्षते (prekṣate, “to see”), which is from प्रेक्ष् (prekṣ, “to look, regard”), a compound of प्र- (pra-) + ईक्ष् (īkṣ, “to see, look”).
