Etymology and Composition

The word अनभिम्लात (anabhimlāta) is a compound formed from:

• an- (अन्): a negative prefix meaning "not"
• abhimlāta (अभिम्लात): derived from the root mlā (म्ला), which means
• “to decay,” “fade,” or “wither”

Thus, anabhimlāta literally translates to 'not faded' or

'undiminished'
