Sanskrit khaṇḍa (78)
According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, Sanskrit word khaṇḍa is derived from the root khaṇḍ connoting “to break, divide, destroy, tear, crush, and cut.” khaṇḍa means “broken, having chasms or gaps or breaks; deficient, defective, crippled; piece, part, fragment, and portion.” It traces its origin to the Tamil root kaṇṭu through the transformation of kaṇṭu > khaṇḍa.
