ख़ुलासा

Hindi

Alternative forms

खुलासा (khulāsā)

Etymology

From Arabic خُلَاصَة‎ (ḵulāṣa). The primary senses are further influenced by खुलना (khulnā, “to open, come out”), but the lack of the suffix -आसा (-āsā) in other tadbhava words suggest this to be a folk conflation.

Noun

ख़ुलासा • (xulāsā) m (Urdu spelling خلاصہ‎)
