Etymology

    Etymology tree
    Sanskrit पेट (peṭa)?
    Prakrit 𑀧𑁂𑀟 (peḍa)

    Inherited from Sanskrit पेट (peṭa), पेटक (peṭaka, “multitude, consortium, group, company”), with further etymology unknown. The descendants largely mean "peda", a kind of sweetmeat; it is unclear if this is due to semantic change or if they come from a different word entirely. Compare Pali yakapeḷa (“liver”), Sanskrit पिण्ड (piṇḍa, “lump”).[1]
