दरी

Hindi

Etymology 1

Probably from Sanskrit स्तरी (starī).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “Is this स्तरी as in a "sterile cow" or a "sterile night"? This seems semantically bold - is there a formation of स्तरी from स्तॄ (stṝ, “to spread, strew”) that's possible? That would be much more semantically tenable.”
