ফেলা

Bengali

Etymology

According to Ralph Turner, due to the presence of the unique aspiration, this word is combined from two roots, which were conflated in late Middle Bengali:

• Early Middle Bengali পেলা (pela), from Prakrit 𑀧𑁂𑀮𑁆𑀮𑀇 (pĕllaï, “throws”), from Sanskrit प्रेलयति (prelayati), a liquid-variant of प्रेरयति (prerayati, “sets in motion”), from प्र- (pra-) + ईरयति (īrayati, “to cause to move”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hiráyati, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ir-éye-ti. Cognate with Sylheti ꠚꠣꠟꠣꠘꠤ (fálani), Assamese পেলা (pela), Odia ପେଲିବା (pelibā), Maithili पेलब (pēlab) / 𑂣𑂵𑂪𑂥 (pelab), Hindustani पेलना (pelnā) / پیلْنَا (pelnā), Gujarati પ્રેરવું (prervũ), Marathi पेलणे (pelṇe).
• Early Middle Bengali ফেলা (phela), from Prakrit 𑀨𑀇𑀮𑁆𑀮 (phaïlla), metathesized from 𑀧𑀳𑀺𑀮𑁆𑀮 (pahilla, “to spread”), from 𑀧𑀳𑀺𑀅 (pahia​) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀮𑁆𑀮- (-lla-), from Sanskrit प्रथित (prathita, “spread out”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *pratHitás, from Proto-Indo-European *pleth₂-i-tós (“flattened”). Cognate with Hindi फैलना (phailnā).
