Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *ned- (to sound, roar, bellow), which might be sound-symbolic. Mayrhofer adduces Proto-Indo-European *nedo- (reed) (that is, a "resonator (plant)" > "reed"), whence नड (naḍa, reed) and its relatives, as descendants.[1] Other derivatives include नदी (nadī, river).
