Etymology
Inherited from Sanskrit ग्रन्थ (grantha, “binding”). From the date of appearance, the sense of 'composition' may be a semantic loan from Sanskrit ग्रन्थ (grantha, “composition”).
Noun
gantha m
- (figurative) bond, fetter
- composition, text
- c. 500 AD, Kaccāyana, Pālivyākaraṇaṃ [Pali Grammar], page 6; republished as Satish Chandra Acharyya Vidyabhusana, editor, Kaccayana's Pali Grammar (edited in Devanagari character and translated into English), Calcutta, Bengal: Mahabodhi Society, 1901:
- या च पन सक्कतगन्थेसु समञ्ञा घोसाति वाघोसाति वा ता पयोगे सति एत्थापि पयुज्जते
- Yā ca pana sakkataganthesu samaññā ghosāti vāghosāti vā tā payoge sati etthāpi payujjate.
- And moreover that designation either 'voiced' or 'unvoiced' which is in Sanskrit texts is applied even here when there is occasion.
