Etymology

Of unclear origin. Attempts to connect the root to कूर्द् (kūrd, “to leap”) or गर्द् (gard, “to cry, exult”) (whence perhaps गर्दभ (gardabha, “ass, donkey”)) are fraught with difficulties.

Pronunciation

(Vedic) IPA^(key): /ɡuːɾd/
(Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /ɡuːɾd̪/

Root

गूर्द् • (gūrd)

to play, sport, jump
to leap after

Derived terms

गुर्दति (gurdati)
गुर्दते (gurdate)
