agnί

Sanskrit agnί (278)

    According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, agnί is derived from the root ag, meaning “to move tortuously and wind.” The Sanskrit word agnis (masculine and nominative case of agnί) refers to “fire; sacrificial fire (of three kinds, Gārhapatya, Āhavanīya, and Dakshiṇa); the number three; the god of fire; the fire of the stomach, digestive faculty, gastric fluid; bile; and gold.” It is linguistically related to Latin igni-s, Lithuanian ugni-s, and Slavonic ognj. However, it traces its origin to the Tamil root akkiṉi through the transformation of akkiṉi > agnί. The following words, related to Sanskrit agnί, also originate from Tamil akkiṉi.
