"शुण्ठी" meaning in Sanskrit

See शुण्ठी in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɕuɳ.ʈʰiː/ [Vedic], /ɕuɳ.ʈʰiː/ [Classical-Sanskrit]
Etymology: From the root शुण्ठ् (śuṇṭh, “to dry”), which itself is from Dravidian; compare Tamil சுண்டு (cuṇṭu, “to dry up”), Telugu చుండు (cuṇḍu, “to be evaporated or dried up”). Superficial resemblances to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *kjaŋ (“ginger”) and Dravidian இஞ்சி (iñci, “ginger”) have been noted, but the terms are likely unrelated.
