Built from

bhadra — root · fortunate, good
From IE *bʰendʰ- 'bind, tie together'. The concrete sense of 'binding' or 'holding firm' (as in bond, bind) underlies the meaning of stable, secure, hence fortunate and auspicious. Sanskrit cognate bhadra has the same sense.

Etymology. From Indo-European *bʰendʰ- 'to bind, tie together', whence Sanskrit bhadra 'fortunate, auspicious'. The root sense is 'that which binds together' or 'holds firm', hence stability, security, and the good fortune attending them. Cognate with English bind, band, bond (all from the same IE root).
