चौड़ा

[ˈt͡ʃɔːɽaː]

Where it comes from

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit *चउड (caüḍa). Beyond that, it is possibly from Sanskrit चतुर् (catur, “four”) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀟- (-ḍa-). Compare the semantically parallel Sanskrit चतुष्क (catuṣka, “made of four; courtyard”), whence Hindi चौक (cauk). Many of the New Indo-Aryan languages retain the "flat area" meaning.

Cognate with Punjabi ਚੌੜਾ (cauṛā), Nepali चौडा (cauḍā), Gujarati ચોડું (coḍũ), Assamese চৌৰা (soura), Bengali চওড়া (coōṛa), Odia ଚଉଡ଼ା (cauṛā).
