Brit. /ˌtɛrəˈvɑːdɪn/, /ˌθɛrəˈvɑːdɪn/, U.S. /ˌtɛrəˈvɑd(ə)n/, /ˌθɛrəˈvɑd(ə)n/
Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Pali. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Pali theravādin ; Theravada n., Pali -in.
Etymology: Either (i) < Pali theravādin follower of the doctrine of the elders, especially of one of the sects underlying the later Theravada school of Buddhism < theravāda Theravada n. + -in , suffix forming adjectives, or (ii) perhaps formed within English < Theravada n. + Pali -in, after other English words reflecting this suffix or its Sanskrit etymon (compare e.g. Yogacarin n. and yogin , variant of yogi n.). Compare also better attested Pali compounds ending in -vādin , such as dhammavādin exponent of doctrine (compare dhamma n.), vinayavādin exponent of discipline (compare Vinaya n.).
