Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kanH- (“to dig”), though the aspiration is unexplained: probably either spurious/onomatopoeic or due to contamination from the unrelated root of खा (khā́, “spring, source”).

Root

खन् • (khan)

  1. to dig, dig up, delve, turn up the soil, excavate, root up
  2. to pierce (said of an arrow)
