"দাই" meaning in Bengali

See দাই in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /d̪ai̯/ (note: Rarh), [ˈd̪ai̯] (note: Rarh), /d̪ai̯/ (note: Dhaka), [ˈd̪ai̯] (note: Dhaka) Forms: dai [romanization]
Etymology: Due to the lack of aspiration, the word is considered to be a conflation of two related roots: * from Middle Bengali ধাই (dhai), from Prakrit 𑀥𑀸𑀈 (dhāī), from Sanskrit धात्री (dhātrī), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰaHtriH, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁trih₂ (“wet nurse”). * from Classical Persian دایه (dāya), from Middle Persian [script needed] (dāyak), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰaHyakas, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁y-o-kos (“nursing (one)”). Ultimately both are from derivations of Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁(y)- (“to suckle, nurse”).
