Sanskrit urú (73)
According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, the Sanskrit word urú is derived from √vṛi, meaning “to cover, hide, and surround.” It refers to “wide, broad, spacious, extended, great, large, much, excessive, and excellent.” He also states that it shares etymological relationship with terms in other Indo-European languages. They include Greek єὐρύς (êyrýs), єὐρύυω (êyrýyo), and Hibernian ur (very) and uras (power, ability). However, the Sanskrit word urú traces its origin to the Tamil root uṟu through the transformation uṟu > urú. The following words, related to Sanskrit urú, also originate from the Tamil root uṟu.
