Urdu

Etymology 1

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (chuṭṭa) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀓- (-ka-), from Sanskrit *क्षुट्ट (kṣuṭṭa), from *क्षुट् (kṣuṭ, “to release”, root)[1] + -त (-ta, “-ed”). Compare چُھوٹْنَا (chūṭnā, “to be released”) and چُھوٹ (chūṭ, “liberty, freedom”). Cognate with Punjabi ਛੁੱਟ (chuṭṭa) / چُھٹّ (chuṭṭ), Gujarati છુટ્ટું (chuṭṭũ), Marathi सुटे (suṭe).
