Etymology

Inherited from Prakrit 𑀞𑀡𑁆𑀠 (ṭhaṇḍha, “cold, blunted”), from 𑀞𑀟𑁆𑀠 (ṭhaḍḍha, “sluggish, slow”) with contamination of -ṇ- from a derivative of Proto-Dravidian *taṇ (“cold”), from 𑀣𑀤𑁆𑀥 (thaddha, “firm, fixed”) with retroflexion, from Sanskrit स्तब्ध (stabdha, “firm, stiff”),[1] from Proto-Indo-Iranian *stabdʰás, from Proto-Indo-European *stebʰ-tós, with semantic shift. Doublet of स्तब्ध (stabdh, “stunned”). Cognate with Kashmiri थंड् (thaṃḍ), Nepali ठण्डा (ṭhaṇḍā), Gujarati ઠંડું (ṭhaṇḍũ), Bengali ঠান্ডা (ṭhanḍa), Oriya ଠଣ୍ଡା (ṭhôṇḍa), Bhojpuri ठण्ढा (ṭhaṇḍhā), Marathi थंड (thaṇḍa).
