"मटची" meaning in Sanskrit

See मटची in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mɐ.ʈɐ.t͡ɕiː/ [Vedic], /mɐ.ʈɐ.t͡ɕiː/ [Classical-Sanskrit]
Etymology: A term of uncertain interpretation, an almost-hapax legomenon only attested twice in the Sanskrit corpus; once in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad, and once in the Bhāradvājagṛhyasūtra. If the original meaning is "locust", then it is likely a Wanderwort shared with Dravidian and Iranian languages; compare Kannada ಮಿಡಿಚೆ (miḍice) / ಮಿಡಿತೆ (miḍite, “locust”), as well as Persian ملخ (malax, “grasshopper”).
