Etymology

[edit]
Prakrit verb set
𑀉𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀭𑀇 (uttaraï)
𑀉𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀸𑀭𑁂𑀇 (uttārei)

    Inherited from Sanskrit उत्त॑रति (úttarati), from उद्- (ud-) + तर॑ति (tárati).

    Wackernagel claims contamination from Sanskrit अवतरति (avatarati, to descend, get down) to explain the sense "get down" in descendants, but Turner finds this unnecessary since "cross over" > "get down" is plausible on its own.[1]
