| May 1, 2015 at 13:00 | comment | added | yuttadhammo | Nice guess work :) Pali words are often formed from a "root", like "man", which means "in regards to thinking". Not all words are so formed, but most are. Roots aren't aggregated, they are added to by suffixes, prefixes, augments and declensions (the "o" here). | |
