Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Aryan *duẓḍʰíH, from *duṣ- (“bad, evil”) + *dʰíH (“thought, intention”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dʰayH-. By surface analysis, दुस् (dus, “bad, evil”) +‎ धी (dhī, “thought, intention”), see there for more. Doublet of दुर्धी (durdhī).

Pronunciation

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /duː.ɖʱíː/

Adjective

दूढी • (dūḍhī́) stem

1. (Vedic) malevolent, ill-dispositioned, ill-intentioned
   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 1.94.9:

     व॒धैर्दुः॒शंसाँ॒ अप॑ दू॒ढ्यो॑ जहि दू॒रे वा॒ ये अन्ति॑ वा॒ के चि॑द॒त्रिणः॑ ।
     अथा॑ य॒ज्ञाय॑ गृण॒ते सु॒गं कृ॒ध्यग्ने॑ स॒ख्ये मा रि॑षामा व॒यं तव॑ ॥

     vadhaírduḥśáṃsām̐ ápa dūḍhyò jahi dūré vā yé ánti vā ké cidatríṇaḥ.
     áthā yajñā́ya gṛṇaté sugáṃ kṛdhyágne sakhyé mā́ riṣāmā vayáṃ táva.

     Smite with thy weapons those of evil speech and those with evil thoughts, devouring demons, whether near or far away.
     Then to the singer of your praises, give free way for worship. Let us not, in thy friendship, Agni, suffer harm.
