Prakrit 𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (chuṭṭa)

Uncertain. Sanskrit क्षोट् (kṣoṭ, “to throw”) and क्षोटयति (kṣoṭayati, “throws”) are likely Sanskritizations.

Tedesco derives the root as a back-formation from *𑀉𑀘𑁆𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝- (*uc-chuṭṭa-), from Sanskrit उत्सृष्ट (utsṛṣṭa, “let loose”), from उत्- (ut-, “upon”) +‎ सृष्ट (sṛṣṭa, “let go, discharged, thrown”). to be descended from the Prakrit root in the "release" sense, but leaves the origin of the "leave" sense open, explaining the pigeonholing of both meanings onto छोड़ (choṛ) as a case of secondary semantic leveling.
