Adverb

IPA: /kɐ.dɑ́ː/ [Vedic], /ˈkɐ.d̪ɑː/ [Classical-Sanskrit] Forms: kadā́ [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-Aryan *kadáH, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kadáH, whence the cognate Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬛𐬁 (kadā, “when”); possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷodéh₂ (“when”) (compare Lithuanian kadà; see there for details): *kʷo- + *-de + *-h₂. The suffix *-déh₂ has not been satisfactorily explained, but compare यदा (yadā), तदा (tadā).
