Sanskrit 'zraddhA*' ( = shraddhaa) is combination of 'zrat' (shrat)
and 'dhA' (dhaa):
zrat or %{zra4d} ind. (accord. to Naigh. iii , 10 = %{satya} , `" truth ,
faithfulness "' ; prob. allied to Lat. %{credo} for %{cred-do} ; %{***cor***} ,
%{cord-is} ; Gk. $ , $ , Eng. &331553[1095 ,3] `" heart "' ; only in comp. with
%{kR} and %{dAna} and %{dhA} and its derivations see below).
dhA 2 mfn. putting , placing , bestowing , holding , ***having*** , causing
&c. (ifc. ; cf. 2. %{dha}) ;
How about "having heart"??
* In Harvard-Kyoto transliteration 'z' = 'sh'; because there
is no *voiced* dental sibilant in Sanskrit, 'z' is "free" to
be used to present the palatal sibilant (sh) using only one letter.
