"गन्ध" meaning in Sanskrit

See गन्ध in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡɐn.dʱɐ́/ [Vedic], /ˈɡɐn̪.d̪ʱɐ/ [Classical-Sanskrit]
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-Iranian *g(ʰ)andʰ- (“to smell”); further etymology unknown, and likely a borrowing, perhaps from the BMAC substrate. Alternative theories consider a relation to गध्य (gadhya, “to be seized or gained as booty”), citing a semantic parallel with सुरभि (surabhi, “sweet-smelling, fragrant”, literally “seizing pleasantly”) and its root रभ् (rabh, “to grasp”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬔𐬀𐬌𐬧𐬙𐬌 (gaⁱṇti, “stench”), 𐬛𐬎𐬲𐬔𐬀𐬌𐬧𐬙𐬌 (dužgaⁱṇti, “smelling badly”), Sogdian γnt (“stench”), Persian گنده (gande, “stench”), Northern Luri گںن (gən).

Alternative theories consider a relation to गध्य (gadhya, “to be seized or gained as booty”), citing a semantic parallel with सुरभि (surabhi, “sweet-smelling, fragrant”, literally “seizing pleasantly”) and its root रभ् (rabh, “to grasp”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬔𐬀𐬌𐬧𐬙𐬌 (gaⁱṇti, “stench”), 𐬛𐬎𐬲𐬔𐬀𐬌𐬧𐬙𐬌 (dužgaⁱṇti, “smelling badly”), Sogdian γnt (“stench”), Persian گنده (gande, “stench”), Northern Luri گںن (gən).",
