dosa — root · fault, hatred, defilement
From Indo-European *dus- (bad, hard, gone wrong). Cognate with Sanskrit doṣa and English dys- (as in dysfunction). In Buddhist psychology, dosa is one of the three unwholesome roots (mūla), representing ill-will and aversion.

Analysis. sa- (with, together) + dosa (hatred, fault, defilement); literally 'together with fault', hence defective or wrong.

Etymology. From sa- (together, with) + dosa (fault, defilement, hatred). Dosa is cognate with Sanskrit doṣa (fault, defect, blemish) from Indo-European *dus- (bad, hard gone wrong), the same root as Pali dukkha (suffering) and English dys- (dysfunction). The prefix sa- (sam-) means 'with, together' and works like Latin con-; here it intensifies the sense of fault inherent in the word.
