Uncertain. Sanskrit क्षोट् (kṣoṭ, “to throw”) and क्षोटयति (kṣoṭayati, “throws”) are likely Sanskritizations.[1][2]
Tedesco derives the root as a back-formation from *𑀉𑀘𑁆𑀙𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀝- (*uc-chuṭṭa-), from Sanskrit उत्सृष्ट (utsṛṣṭa, “let loose”), from उत्- (ut-, “upon”) + सृष्ट (sṛṣṭa, “let go, discharged, thrown”).[3] He considers Hindi छोड़ना (choṛnā, “to release; to leave”) to be descended from the Prakrit root in the "release" sense, but leaves the origin of the "leave" sense open, explaining the pigeonholing of both meanings onto छोड़ (choṛ) as a case of secondary semantic leveling.
