pīḍayitum

 

 "pīḍayitum" carries the meaning of 

“to oppress, afflict, or cause suffering”. It derives from the 

root pīḍ-, associated with pressure, torment, or oppression.

In Sanskrit, the most direct cognate for this sense is the verbal 

noun form derived from the root पीड् (pīḍ), which also means 

“to press, afflict, or cause pain”. 

Sanskrit transliteration: pīḍayitum (पीडयितुम्)

Meaning: “to oppress, afflict, torment, or cause suffering.”

This is a near-literal semantic translation, preserving both the verbal 

action and the nuance of suffering or burden. It corresponds 

to what is cited in the Sanskrit index of 

Akkadian loanword equivalents and the root √पीड् (pīḍ).

Thus, Sanskrit पीडयितुम् (pīḍayitum), 

maintaining the infinitive sense “to afflict/torment.”
