Etymology

Inherited from Sanskrit उद्- (ud-).

Prefix

ud-

1. Verbal prefix:
   1. out of
   2. upwards
   3. awry
   4. exceptionally

Usage notes

Before consonants, the 'd' assimilates to the following consonant. Indeed, the Pali grammarians rather viewed this prefix as u- followed by gemination. In this view, ud before a vowel would be u plus a euphonic -d-. The 'd' of 'ud' is preserved when the temporal augment is applied, as in the aorist udapādi of uppajjati.
