The word "saMskaara" is actually almost the "same" as Sanskrit in, well, Sanskrit -- which is "saMskRta". That word, "saM-s-kRta", consists of the perfect participle of the root "kR" (to do, etc), with the prefix "sam" (together, etc.), and a transition consonant, or perhaps, as per Whitney, an original consonant that's lost from most other forms of the root "kR", which would thus have been originally *skR (in linguistics asterix is used to indicate hypothetical word forms). The word "saMskaara" differs from "saMskRta" in that the second part is a noun, "kaara", from the same root "kR".
