Where it comes from

Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit [Term?], from a blend of

* Prakrit *𑀢𑀺𑀭𑀇 (*tiraï), from Vedic Sanskrit तिरते (tirate, “crosses over”). This is the etymon of तिरना (tirnā).

* Prakrit *𑀧𑀇𑀭𑀇 (*païraï), from Vedic Sanskrit प्रतिरते (pratirate, “sets out, passes”), or *𑀧𑀅𑀭𑀇 (*paaraï), from Sanskrit प्रतरति (pratarati, “goes to sea”). This is the etymon of पैरना (pairnā).

In any case, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *tr̥Háti, from Proto-Indo-European *tr̥h₂-é-ti (“crosses over”). The Sanskrit root is तॄ (tṝ).
