Abbhuta
Abbhuta1 (adj. nt.) [*Sk. adbhuta which appears to be constructed from the P!li & offers like its
companion *!$carya (acchariya abbhuta see below) serious difficulties as to etym. The most probable
solution is that P. abbhuta is a secondary adj. -- formation from abbhu' which in itself is nt. of abbha =
Vedic abhva (see etym. under abbh!matta and cp. abbhu, abbhu' & J.P.T.S. 1889, 201). In meaning
abbhuta is identical with Vedic abhva contrary to what usually happens, i. e. striking, abnormal, gruesome,
horrible etc.; & that its significance as a + bh( ("unreal?") is felt in the background is also evident from the
traditional etym. of the P!li Commentators (see below). See also acchariya] terrifying, astonishing; strange,
exceptional, puzzling, extraordinary, marvellous, supernormal. Described as a term of surprise &
consternation (vimhay! !vahass! adhivacana' DA i.43 & VvA 329) & expld. as "something that is not" or
"has not been before", viz. abh(ta' ThA 233; abh(ta -- pubbat!ya abbhuta' VvA 191, 329; abh(ta --
