Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryginger
Borrowed from Hindustani (Hindi अदरकी (adarkī) / Urdu اَدْرَکِی (adrakī)), from अदरक (adrak, “ginger”) + -ई (-ī) / اَدْرَک (adrak, “ginger”) + ـِی (-ī), from Prakrit *𑀆𑀤𑁆𑀤𑀅 (*āddaa), in turn from Sanskrit आर्द्रक (ārdraka, “ginger”), ultimately from आर्द्र (ārdra, “wet”), as fresh ginger is wet. By surface analysis, adrak + -i.
