ūruṭṭhikaṁ

ūruṭṭhika

accusative singular masculine of ūruṭṭhika (noun): possibly a variant or corruption of ūru 'thigh' with a diminutive or patronymic suffix -ṭṭhika; not clearly attested in canonical Pali texts

  1. thigh-related (obscure)
  2. (uncertain: possibly a body part or martial term)

Analysis. The form appears to be a compound or derived form built from ūru (thigh) with an uncertain suffix -ṭṭhika, but the morphological transparency and canonical usage are unclear.
