"गोधा" meaning in Sanskrit

See गोधा in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡɐw.dʱɑ́ː/ [Vedic], /ˈɡoː.d̪ʱɑː/ [Classical]
Etymology: Traditionally explained as गो (go, “ox; cattle”) + धा (dhā), from धयति (dhayati, “to suck”), literally "cow-sucker", which is likely based on either folk etymology or folk belief about milk-sucking reptile or amphibian common to some Indo-European cultures. Possibly comparable with Old Armenian կովադիաց (kovadiacʻ, “lizard”), Northern Kurdish bizinmij (“monitor lizard”, literally “goat sucker”), and even Latin būfō (“toad”).
