अथर्वी Tatpur. f. (-वी). This word occurs only in the Veda
and is explained ‘not going, unable to move’, from अ
neg. and थर्वी (from थर्व्, to go). It would seem, how-
ever, that it is a Tatpur. composed of the obsolete word
अथर्, fire, and वी, ‘surrounded by fire’(?). See the E.
of अथर्वन् and अथरी.
