"हिजड़ा" meaning in All languages combined

See हिजड़ा on Wiktionary

Noun [Hindi]

IPA: /ɦɪd͡ʒ.ɽɑː/ [Delhi-Hindi], [ɦɪd͡ʒ.ɽäː] [Delhi-Hindi]
Etymology: Likely a derivative from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀳𑀺𑀚𑁆𑀚 (*hijja), whence हीज (hīj, “defective; cowardly”). Some have suggested a formation from Arabic ه ج ر (h-j-r), relating to "fleeing" or "departure" from the verb هَجَرَ (hajara, “emigrate, to abandon”), but this derivation is inconclusive. Cognate with Punjabi ਹਿਜੜਾ (hijṛā) / ہجڑا (hijṛā), Gujarati હીજડો (hījḍo), Marathi हिजडा (hij̈ḍā), Bengali হিজড়া (hijoṛa), Odia ହିଜଡ଼ (hijôṛô), Sinhalese [script needed] (hījiṛo).
