nominative singular masculine of arahat; typically used in vocative form (arahaṁ, arahe) when addressing the Buddha or an enlightened sage
Etymology. The etymology is uncertain and debated. Some scholars propose connection with √rh "to go" or Vedic arihaṇa "slayer (of enemies)", but no confident Indo-European cognate is established. The word may be an old isolated term specific to the Buddhist tradition.
