Built from
- vā — root · speak
From √vac; the o-grade vāc- appears in nominal forms. Cognates: Latin vox 'voice', English voice, German Wort 'word'.
- da — ending · noun action
The -a ending forms masculine action nouns from roots. Here it creates vāda 'a speaking, speech' from √vā.
Etymology. From √vac (vāc-) 'speak', cognate with Latin vox, English voice, German Wort. The suffix -a forms masculine nouns of action: 'a speaking, utterance'. The abstract sense 'doctrine' arises from 'what is said, declared belief'.
