What does the term "Khadighar" mean etymologically?
Does it mean "self-sufficient farm" [khadi (home spun cloth) PLUS ghar (farm)]??
Ghar is an Assamese term that means "a house" or "a homestead". It is also the name of an AI-powered property portal in India. Additionally, "Ghar Soaps" is a brand in India offering organic handmade soaps, indicating the use of "ghar" to denote purity and home-based production.[1]
The term "Khadighar" does not have a widely recognized meaning in etymology. "Khadi" refers to homespun cotton cloth[2] from India, while "ghar" means house or home. Therefore, "Khadighar" could potentially denote a house where khadi cloth is produced or used. However, unless either of Bonsall's books mention this etymology, there is no (otherwise?) directly available evidence to suggest that (in this case) it means "self-sufficient farm" as described (home-spun cloth/farm = self-sufficient farm). It's essential to note that any interpretation lacking concrete linguistic or historical evidence to support it would be speculative until Bonsall-connected evidence could be provided.
