  1. hot
  2. heat

Etymology. Cognate with Sanskrit ushṇá-, Latin ūstus (burnt, scorched), and English uproar via its root sense of heat and burning. The Indo-European root *eus- (to burn) underlies this family. In Pali, uṇha appears as both adjective (hot) and noun (heat), preserving the basic sense of thermal energy and warmth.
