IPA: /dʱʋɐ̃s/ [Vedic], /d̪ʱʋɐs̪/ [Classical-Sanskrit] Forms: dhvaṃs [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *dʰwe-n-s-, nasal-infixed form of *dʰwes- (“to breathe”), probably with influence from the possibly related term *dʰewh₂- (“(to produce) smoke, mist, haze”), with further semantic shift to mean destruction (perhaps as allusions to natural phenomena like volcanism or storms, which involve smoke and haze).
