Etymology 1
Later Sanskrit. Per Mayrhofer, a Sanskritization of Middle Indo-Aryan—e.g. Pali अच्छ (accha) and Prakrit अच्छ (accha)—, from a term related to the root अर्च् (arc, “to shine”).[1] Turner later rejects this, and leaves the etymology uncertain, citing a possible contraction of अच्छाय (acchāyá, “without shadow > clear”).[2]
