"बाई" meaning in Marathi

See बाई in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /bai/, [baiː] Forms: bāī [romanization]
Rhymes: -ai Etymology: Inherited from Old Marathi 𑘤𑘰𑘃𑘩 (bāīla), 𑘤𑘰𑘃𑘭𑘹 (bāīse). Further origination is unclear. Date's Maharshtra Shabdakosh posits a derivation from Sanskrit भगवती (bhagavatī) or Sanskrit भवती (bhavatī), while Tulpule's A Dictionary of Old Marathi speculates a descent from Sanskrit वप्त्रिका (vaptrikā), via the Prakrit 𑀩𑀸𑀇𑀬𑀸 (bāiyā).
