"हिजड़ा" meaning in Hindi

See हिजड़ा in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɦɪd͡ʒ.ɽɑː/ [Delhi], [ɦɪd͡ʒ.ɽäː] [Delhi]
Etymology: Inherited from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀳𑀺𑀚𑁆𑀚 (*hijja) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀟- (-ḍa-) + -𑀓- (-ka-), whence हीज (hīj, “defective; cowardly”). Some have suggested a formation from Arabic ه ج ر (h-j-r) but this derivation is implausible due to the widespread cognates of this term. Cognate with Punjabi ਹਿਜੜਾ (hijṛā) / ہجڑا (hijṛā), Gujarati હીજડો (hījḍo), Marathi हिजडा (hij̈ḍā), Bengali হিজড়া (hijoṛa), Odia ହିଜଡ଼ (hijaṛa), Sinhalese [script needed] (hījiṛo).
