"Borrowed from Sanskrit क्षेत्र (kṣétra)" is not technically correct. Instead be indicated as "Inherited from Sanskrit क्षेत्र (kṣétra)" — This unsigned comment was added by 173.71.122.243 (talk) at 21:54, 29 May 2022.
- Are you sure? It looks like Hindi खेत (khet) was inherited from Sanskrit क्षेत्र (kṣetra) via Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀔𑁂𑀢𑁆𑀢 (khetta), but Hindi क्षेत्र (kṣetra) was a later learned borrowing from Sanskrit. It's not uncommon for a language to have inherited and borrowed doublets. For example, French ouverture is inherited from Latin apertura and underwent sound changes, but French aperture is a later borrowing. 70.172.194.25 22:00, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
