Etymology

Inherited from Middle Bengali পাঁড়িআ (pãṛia), from Old Bengali পাঁডিআ (pā̃ḍiā), from Prakrit 𑀧𑀁𑀟𑀺𑀅𑀓​ (paṃḍiaka​), from 𑀧𑀁𑀟𑀺𑀅 (paṃḍia) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀓- (-ka-), from Sanskrit पण्डित (paṇḍita, “scholar, teacher”), probably reborrowed from Prakrit *𑀧𑀡𑁆𑀡𑀺𑀢 (*paṇṇita), from Vedic Sanskrit प्रज्ञित (prajñita, “learned”).
