Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Prakrit 𑀥𑁄𑀯𑀇 (dhovaï), from Sanskrit *धौवति (dhauvati, to wash; *to pour), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *dʰā́wati (compare the variant धावति (dhāvati, to run, flee), which perhaps specialized on the "running" sense while this one specialized on the "flowing" sense), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰā́wati, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéw-e-ti, from *dʰew- (to run, flow). Assamese ধোৱা (dhüa), Odia ଧୋଇବା (dhoibā), Bihari धोएब (dhoeb), Awadhi धोअब (dhoab), Hindi धोना (dhonā), Marwari धोणो (dhoṇo), Gujarati ધોવું (dhovũ), Sindhi ڌواڻو (dhuaṇu), Punjabi ਧੋਣਾ (dhoṇā), Marathi धुणे (dhuṇe), Sinhalese දොවනවා (dowanawā). Doublet of ধোবা (dhōba), ধোপা (dhōpa), ধাওয়া (dhaōẇa), ধাবন (dhabon), and উধাও (udhaō).
