"भगिनी" meaning in Sanskrit

See भगिनी in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Of uncertain origin. Has been connected to भग (bhaga) in both the "good fortune" and "vulva" senses (the latter sense is considered to be specialized from the former sense). However, Ghurye rejects connections to भग (bhaga) and the related भाग (bhāga, “luck, fortune”), as well as to भ्रातृ (bhrātṛ, “brother”), as fanciful. Descendant terms in attested Middle Indo-Aryan and most Neo Indo-Aryan languages start with the syllable bah-, which presupposes Old Indo-Aryan *bagh-, making a derivation from an unattested form *बघिनी (baghinī) plausible; due to the unlikelihood of a metathesis of initial aspiration in Indo-Aryan, the attested form may postdate the unattested one. By surface analysis, भग (bhaga) + -इनी (-inī).

However, Ghurye rejects connections to भग (bhaga) and the related भाग (bhāga, “luck, fortune”), as well as to भ्रातृ (bhrātṛ, “brother”), as fanciful. Descendant terms in attested Middle Indo-Aryan and most Neo Indo-Aryan languages start with the syllable bah-, which presupposes Old Indo-Aryan *bagh-, making a derivation from an unattested form *बघिनी (baghinī) plausible; due to the unlikelihood of a metathesis of\ninitial aspiration in Indo-Aryan, the attested form may postdate the unattested one. By surface analysis, भग (bhaga) + -इनी (-inī).",

Descendant terms in attested Middle Indo-Aryan and most Neo Indo-Aryan languages start with the syllable bah-, which presupposes Old Indo-Aryan *bagh-, making a derivation from an unattested form *बघिनी (baghinī) plausible; due to the unlikelihood of a metathesis of\ninitial aspiration in Indo-Aryan, the attested form may postdate the unattested one.
