The English word ‘God’ is used commonly by every one.But do we know the etymology ie.the root for this word “God’.Online Etymology Dictionary provides the following information.
“ Old English god “supreme being, deity; the Christian God; image of a god; godlike person,” from Proto-Germanic *guthan (cognates: Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Dutch god, Old High German got, German Gott, Old Norse guð, Gothic guþ), from PIE *ghut- “that which is invoked” (cognates: Old Church Slavonic zovo “to call,” Sanskrit huta- “invoked,” an epithet of Indra), from root *gheu(e)- “to call, invoke.”
None of the foregoing roots seem to be prima-facie acceptable.In fact when I checked up with other Etymological Books,I find that scholars are not agreed on the known etymology .So ,as such the root for the word ‘God’ provided in searches is not prima-facie clear or acceptable to scholars.
My research in this direction led me to the word ‘Kadavul’ which means ‘God’ in Tamil. This word breaks into ‘Kada’+’Vul’ which means “Beyond you but within you”.This rightly describes who God is and where he resides.’God’ is ‘one who is beyond you but resides within you ‘ is the meaning of ‘Kadavul’ in Tamil.While the known roots do not break down into meaningful morphemes ,this word does.Sowe may accept this finding as correct etymology for the word ‘God’ without much doubt.
==========================================================================.
Rattham in Tamil means 'blood'. It is from this word the word 'red' (color) in English came into usage.
Rot in German is Red.
Jews give animal sacrifice to Goddess Kali and they believed that this blood sacrifice will protect them. This protection is in the form of a shield (Kavacham / Kedayam). Ratta Kedayam was the original belief of Jews (when they came to India) and as a result they called themselves Rothschild .
Rattha Kedyam -- Rattha sedayam--
Ratth + Sedu - Roth Seld -- Rothschild.
