- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary sanscrit avatâra «descente». + Etymology: Sanskrit. avatara "descent" comprising ava "down" + t'r-, tar- "to pass over." The t(e)r- root also underlies Latin trans "across, over, beyond" found in English words like "transport," "translate," "transform" today. In English it turns up in "nostril" from earlier "nose-thrill" (or "thirl"), that very exciting passage up the old proboscis. (This "thrill" meant an opening or hole.) Finally, we see the remnants of this root in Greek nectar "drink of the gods," based on nek "death" (also in "nec-ro-", as in necropolis "graveyard") + tar from this root, apparently referring originally to a passage beyond death. bad-âvord tah/pas-mând/andâxt-a
