Looking up the [Pali bodhi](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bodhi#Pali) leads to [Sanskrit bodhi](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%BF#Sanskrit) , which says "perfect knowledge or wisdom", from Proto-Indo European "to be awake". Perfect wisdom and being awake are not the same thing from a layman's perspective, so they are hinting at some underlying unity. Is that present in the components of the word? What about parts of speech of the word, what is its part of speech and how is it composed? Also, it seems to be related to the word Buddha (
b*dh*
), but I am not sure.
[Bod](https://www.shabdkosh.com/dictionary/english-sanskrit/bod/bod-meaning-in-sanskrit) seems to mean "body", and [hi](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF) , I dunno. I may be doing this wrong :)
