Etymology 1

[edit]

Ji (1998v7)considers it likely borrowed fromIranian(compareSogdian𐼾𐼴𐽂𐼷(pwty),𐫁𐫇𐫤𐫏(bwty/⁠Pute, Bute, βute⁠/),Middle Persian[Book Pahlavi needed](bwt'),𐫁𐫇𐫤(bwt/⁠But⁠/),Parthian𐫁𐫇𐫎(bwṯ/⁠But, Butt⁠/)), ultimately fromSanskritबुद्ध(buddha,awakened, enlightened,past passive participle),whence alsoPhật đà(MCbjut da), but the Chinese morphemePhậtis not a direct contraction or clipping of the latter.
