Desire - ஆசை (Sanskrit)
Original Tamil words:
அவா, விருப்பம், பற்று, வேட்கை, விழைவு
Words like ஆசை, பயம், காமம், பாசம் are all misinterpreted to be Tamil words..but actually these are all Sanskrit words which have come into the common usage of Tamil, having been widely used words in the religious preachings of the Vedas.
Tamil lost many of its nuanced words for such meanings after the Bhakti movement. In this example, Tamil had(has) different words for the different forms of desires (ஆசை), as explained below:
அவா - wish
விருப்பம், விழைவு - desire
பற்று - attachment/affection
வேட்கை - want
I’m sure, we know all these words too; it’s time we start using them again consciously over the word ஆசை in an attempt to revive the greatness of Tamil.
