Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Portuguese. Partly a borrowing from Hindi. Partly also a borrowing from French. Etymons: Portuguese rupia; Hindi rūpiyā; French roupie.

Etymology: < Portuguese rupia (1608) and its etymon Hindi rūpiyā, rupayā silver coin, rupee, vernacular pronunciation of Sanskrit rūpya (adjective) worked, stamped, (noun) coin < Sanskrit rūpa shape, appearance (of unknown origin) + -ya , suffix forming adjectives. In sense 2 originally via French roupie (1663; 1614 as roupia ; < Portuguese). Compare (probably also < Portuguese) post-classical Latin rupia (1616 or earlier), Dutch roepie , †roepia (late 17th cent. or earlier, also with reference to Indonesia; compare rupiah n.). Compare Persian rūpiya (mid 16th cent. or earlier; < Hindi) which probably also had a part in the transmission of the word into European languages. With use of the currency outside India compare e.g. Urdu rūpiya , Nepali rūpiyã , Sinhala rupiyala , Tamil rūpāy , Divehi rufiyaa (see rufiyaa n.), and ( < French) Seychelles Creole roupi. In parts of northern India (e.g. Ladakh, Kashmir) and in Bhutan, the Indian rupee is denoted by words related to Tibetan girmo or (in some areas) dngul , literally ‘silver’ (compare ngultrum n.).

1. The principal monetary unit of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and the Seychelles, equal to 100 paise in India, 100 paisa in Pakistan and Nepal, and 100 cents in Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and the Seychelles.

See R n. 16h, re n.²The silver rupee was introduced by Sher Shah in 1542, and varied in weight from 170 to 192 grains (at different times and places); from 1836 the weight in British India was 180 grains, but the value diminished considerably with the fall in the value of silver around 1875. A slightly heavier rupee was in use in Bengal: see sicca rupee at sicca n.¹ 1a. In some places the rupee was formerly equivalent to 64 paise; decimalization occurred in Sri Lanka in 1872, India in 1957, and in Pakistan in 1961. The rupee was also formerly used as the principal monetary unit in various other countries, including Afghanistan until 1925, Bhutan until 1974, and the Maldives until 1981.
