anekī bhavat

 Anekī bhavat is a Sanskrit term meaning "being manifold" or "divided into multiple parts," describing something that is separated, disunited, or multifaceted.

Definition and Etymology

The term anekī bhavat (अनेकीभवत्) is a compound of:

• anekī – derived from an (negation) + eka (one), broadly meaning
• "manifold" or "many"
• bhavat – stemming from the root bhū (“to be, become”) signifying
• "being" or "existence"

In this compound, anekī bhavat conveys the concept of something 

being manifold, split, or disunited, as opposed to being unified or joined 

together. It is a tatpuruṣa compound in Sanskrit grammar, often 

describing words or elements separated by hiatus or consonants, 

essentially the reverse of saṃdhī (combination or coalescing)
