Where it comes from
Borrowed from Hindustani ہِنْدُوسْتان (hindūstān) / हिंदुस्तान (hindustān), itself from Classical Persian هِنْدُوسْتَان (hindūstān, “Indian subcontinent”). By surface analysis, Hindu + -stan.
proper noun Hindostan · Hendostan · Hindoostan · Hendoostan · Indostan · Hindusthan
-
India (Republic of India).
Similar: Bharat

- The northern (properly north central) region of India.
- The Hindustani language.
