Buddhan.

Brit.

/ˈbʊdə/, U.S.

/ˈbudə/,

/ˈbʊdə/

Forms:

α. 1600s–1800s Buddou, 1800s Boodhoo, 1800s Boudhou, 1800s Buddho.

β. 1700s– Buddha, 1800s Bhooddha, 1800s Booddha, 1800s Budha.

γ. 1800s Buddh, 1800s Budh.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Pali. Partly a borrowing from Sanskrit. Etymons: Pali buddha; Sanskrit buddha.

Etymology: < (i) Pali buddha (nominative singular masculine buddho), and its etymon (ii) Sanskrit buddha aware, awakened, enlightened, (in Buddhism) the epithet given to Siddhārtha Gautama (see discussion at sense 1), use as adjective of past participle of budh- to awaken, know, perceive, ultimately < the same Indo-European base as Old English bēodan (see bid v.¹). Compare French Bouddha, †Budha, †Bouddou, etc. (1671 as †Buddha), Portuguese Buda (16th cent. as †Budo, †Budão), and also Dutch Boeddha (1672 or earlier as †Buddha).The α. forms reflect the Pali nominative, in forms with final -ou probably via French forms such as †Bouddou, †Buddou, etc. (although these are apparently first attested later), perhaps ultimately reflecting a Portuguese pronunciation (compare the 17th-cent. Portuguese form †Buddhu). N.E.D. (1888) also gives the pronunciation (bu·dˌha) /ˈbʊdha/.

1. Also with the: (a title for) Siddhārtha Gautama, or Śākyamuni, a spiritual teacher from South Asia on whose teachings Buddhism is based, and who is believed to have been born in what is now Nepal and flourished in what is now Bihar, northeastern India, during the 5th cent. b.c. Also: (a title given to) any Buddhist teacher regarded as having attained full awakening or enlightenment.
