Vehicle - வாகனம் (from Sanskrit)
(Vaahan in Hindi)
Original Tamil word - ஊர்தி, வண்டி
The word ஊர்தி has become limited in its usage to only அமரர் ஊர்தி these days. Unsurprisingly it shows the place of Tamil today through that usage; It is the real Tamil word for vehicle.
The word comes from the verb - ஊர்ந்து which means to crawl (to move by crawling). Thus, the vehicle which moves by crawling was given the name ஊர்தி.
Prior to motorised vehicles, the word for animal based carts were called வண்டி; this word has now been used in Tamilised name given for a train (தொடர்வண்டி)
உந்து - is a Tamil word that means to propel (also means motivate/urge). This word became the word that gave Tamil words like பேருந்து (bus), சரக்குந்து (lorry) and மகிழுந்து (car) in due course of time as these inventions were made.
