Etymology

Borrowed from Odia ଓଡ଼ିଆ (oṛiā). Which in turn is derived from Prakrit 𑀑𑀟𑁆𑀟𑀺𑀅 (ŏḍḍia), from Sanskrit औड्रिक (auḍrika, “relating to the Odras”), an adjective suffixed from the vriddhi of ओड्र (oḍra, “Odra”).

Meanings

  1. Odia, the language spoken in the state of Odisha, India.
    • Orissa achieved excellence in the spheres of painting, sculpture, art, architecture and literature. Along with Oriya language and Oriya script, a distinct Oriya culture came into prominence. 2008, Orissa: An Encyclopaedia of Events, 2 edition, Sankalpa Publications, page 13:
    • This Gitagovinda pattern of the entire medieval Oriya literature, the number of translations this book has had in Oriya, the deep influence it has exercised on the art and society of Orissa and the fact that all the events that mattered in the poet Jayadeva’s life happened at Puri, as well as the great honour given to his book in the temple of Jagannatha, all naturally make Jayadeva an integral part of Orissa’s medieval culture and tend to prove the great poet-saint’s Orissan citizenship, as claimed by the Oriyas. 1960, Mayadhar Mansinha, History of Oriya Literature, Sahitya Akademi, page 84:
