Etymology 1
Adjective
सहाय • (sahā-ya)
Declension
Etymology 2
Probably from सह (saha, “companion”) + अय (aya, “go”) (compare सहायन (sahā-yana)). An alternate derivation from a Prakrit form of सखाय (sakhāya) (for which see सखि (sakhi, “friend”) for more) is less likely.
Noun
सहाय • (sahā-ya) stem, m
- "one who goes along with (another)", a companion, follower, adherent, ally, assistant, helper in or to (locative or compound)
- (at the end of a compound) "having as a companion or assistant, accompanied or supported by"
- (ibc.) companionship, assistance
- name of Shiva
- ruddy goose
- a kind of drug or perfume
