Built from
- sādh — root · accomplish, achieve
The root carries the sense of bringing something into effect or establishing it firmly. Related to Sanskrit √sādh.
- e — ending · causative formant
The -e- formant creates a causative verb: sādheti "causes to be accomplished" or "accomplishes." Pali causatives typically add -e- to the root.
- yy — ending · present gemination
In the present tense, certain Pali verbs show gemination of a following yodh; here -yy- signals present indicative. Combined with the personal ending -ti (3rd singular).
- ti — ending · 3rd singular present
The -ti ending marks 3rd person singular present indicative active voice.
Etymology. √sādh, "to accomplish" (related to Sanskrit sādhayati, "brings about, achieves"). The causative adds -e-, and the geminate -yy- appears in present-tense Pali for certain verb classes. The root is connected to ideas of making straight or putting in order.
