Tatsama
Tatsama ( Sanskrit; ) are Sanskrit loanwords in modern Indo-Aryan languages like Bengali, Marathi, Oriya, Hindi, Gujarati, Sinhala and Dravidian languages like Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil. They belong to a higher and more erudite register than common words, many of which are (in modern Indo-Aryan languages) directly inherited from Old Indo-Aryan ( tadbhava). The tatsama register can be compared to the use of words of Greek origin in English (e.g. hubris).
