Where it comes from

Borrowed from Sanskrit तपस्वी (tapasvī), a compound of तपस्य (tapasya, “austere meditation, asceticism”) + -ई (-ī, agent suffix, from -इन् (-in)); the first element literally means "produced by heat" and comes from तपस् (tapas, “warmth”), from the root तप् (tap, “to heat”), but by semantic shift for religious context, the meaning of "warmth" was compared to the pain of austere meditation or the "burning" of past karma.
