फल n

1. Devanagari script form of phala

From Magadhi Prakrit 𑀨𑀮 (phala), from Sanskrit फल (phála), Derived from Proto-Dravidian *paẓam (“ripe fruit”).

फल (phal) (classifier ड, plural फलला)

1. fruit

Uncertain. The original meaning was "fruit". It is commonly considered a borrowing from Dravidian, ultimately from Proto-Dravidian *paẓam (“ripe fruit”), from *paẓV- (“to ripen, become mature”) (compare Tamil பழம் (paḻam), Malayalam പഴം (paḻaṁ), Telugu పండు (paṇḍu) and Kannada ಹಣ್ಣು (haṇṇu)). However, Mayrhofer says nothing speaks for that and instead groups it with the family of words derived from the root फल् (phal, “to burst, split”) (as ripe fruit is prone to burst, see below for other words related to "bursting, splitting"). It might derive from Proto-Indo-European *(s)bʰel- (“to swell”) (with S-mobile).[1]
