[ɐd̪.ɾɐk] Hindi, Standard

Where it comes from

Semi-learned borrowing from Sanskrit आर्द्रक (ārdraka, “ginger”) through Prakrit *𑀆𑀤𑁆𑀤𑀅 (*āddaa), from आर्द्र (ārdra, “wet”), as fresh ginger is wet. Doublet of आदा (ādā). Tom Hoogervorst instead proposes it and other Indic terms are from Proto-Malayic *halia.
