Prakrit 𑀢𑁄𑀟𑁂𑀇 (toḍei)

Denominal verb of 𑀢𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝 (tuṭṭa, “broken”) + -𑀏𑀇 (-ei), from Sanskrit *तृत्त (tṛtta, “split”), from तृद् (tṛd, “to cleave, split”) +‎ -त (-ta).^[2]^[3] Compare the participle तृण्ण (tṛṇṇa) with a different suffix.

The back-formation is by analogy with Sanskrit verbs like बुद्ध (buddhá) ~ बोधयति (bodháyati). Sanskrit forms organised under the root त्रुट् (truṭ) are Sanskritisations not attested before the Classical period.
