annāvṛddh

 Annāvṛddha most naturally means “one who has grown by food” or “nourished by food,” formed from anna (food) + vṛddha (grown, increased).

How the meaning is derived

Although none of the supplied results define annāvṛddha directly, the meaning follows standard Sanskrit compound formation:
  • anna (अन्न) — “food,” “nourishment,” “grain.”
  • vṛddha (वृद्ध) — “grown,” “increased,” “developed,” “strengthened.”
In Sanskrit, a tatpuruṣa compound of the form X + vṛddha typically means “grown by X” or “increased through X.”
Thus:
annena vṛddhaḥ → annāvṛddhaḥ
“grown by food,” “nourished through food,” “one whose growth depends on food.”

Why this interpretation is reliable

The web results include extensive entries for an / aṇ / añ / ana, but none list annāvṛddha as a headword. The closest relevant material is the grammatical information on affixes and roots in Sanskrit compounds from Wisdomlib , which confirms how such compounds are normally formed. The meaning therefore comes from standard Sanskrit morphology rather than a dictionary citation.

Possible contextual uses

In classical Sanskrit, a word like annāvṛddha could describe:
  • A living being nourished by food (humans, animals)
  • A body strengthened by nourishment
  • A metaphorical sense: someone whose prosperity or growth depends on food or sustenance
  • annabhṛta — “supported by food”
  • annaja — “born of food”
  • annapāyin — “one who eats food”

If you want the exact dictionary entry

You can search for the exact compound in the Sanskrit Heritage Dictionary or Shlokam Dictionary, both listed in the results , but compounds of this type are often not listed individually because their meaning is predictable from grammar.
