गरियाना

Etymology

By surface analysis, from गाली (gālī) or गारी (gārī, abuse, abusive language) +‎ -आना (-ānā, verbal suffix). McGregor, Dasa, and Platts align with this derivation.[1][2][3]

Hoernlé, however, differs, and derives the word from Prakrit *𑀕𑀭𑀺𑀳𑀸𑀯𑀇 (*garihāvaï), *𑀕𑀮𑀺𑀳𑀸𑀯𑀇 (*galihāvaï), from Sanskrit गर्हयति (garhayati, complains, blames, censures, reproaches) or the denominal गर्हापयति (garhāpayati), which is from गर्हा (garhā, censure, abuse) + -आपयति (-āpayati), ultimately from the root गर्ह् (garh),[4][5] (also cf. alternative form गल्ह् (galh)) from Proto-Indo-Iranian *garȷ́ʰ- (to complain, accuse, lament). Note that Hoernlé also derives गाली (gālī) / गारी (gārī, abuse, abusive language) from the same Sanskrit root गर्ह् (garh), although others derive them from the unrelated Sanskrit word गालि (gāli).
