Etymology edit
Of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to पीत (pīta, “yellow”), and along with it, derived from the root पी (pī, “to swell, fatten”) with semantic shift "fat" > "the color of fat" > "yellow" > "bile". It is also possible that पित्त (pitta) is the original term, with पीत (pīta) a derivative of it. Other theories proposing a Dravidian borrowing have been retracted by their authors.[1]
Noun edit
पित्त • (pitta) stem, n
- bile, the bilious humor (one of the three humors or that secreted between the stomach and bowels and flowing through the liver and permeating spleen, heart, eyes, and skin; its chief quality is heat)
