"कीट" meaning in Sanskrit

See कीट in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kiː.ʈɐ́/ [Vedic], /kiː.ʈɐ/ [Classical-Sanskrit]
Etymology: Uncertain. According to Mayrhofer, probably borrowed from a substrate language. Perhaps from original *kīr-tá- and thus somehow related to कृमि॑ (kṛ́mi, “worm”). Unrelated to Ancient Greek κίς (kís, “weevil”).
