Hi Bryan and all,
I just noticed that the Śabdakalpadruma Sanskrit-Sanskrit dictionary is
online on the same website as MW and is searchable. I discovered it through
Petra's link. I typed in buddhaH and was blown away by the result. The
beginning of the article is as follows:
buddhaḥ, puṁ, (budhyate sma iti . budha + kta . yadvā bhāve
kta buddhaṁ jñānamasyāstīti arśaādyac .)
bhagavadavatāraviśeṣaḥ . sa tu daśāvatārāntargata-
navamāvatāraḥ . yathā, --
There is much much more.
I've been looking into the Pali roots budha avagamane and budha bodhane (and
the same in Skt.). According to Sadd budha bodhane has three meanings but I
see that pakasane (one of the meanings) could be further divided into two
(shining and opening out, blossoming). I find it's best to start with the
root when studying a word but there are some problems to be resloved with
the root BUDH before one can go much further.
Jim
