It would surprise many of you to know that the origins of this word are
in a
Sanskrit greeting,
Bho sad ike ? भो सद इके ?
meaning,
Sir, are you well?
Everyone knows that 'Sad' is a prefix used for good things, like sadguru,
sadiccha etc.
'Bho' is a term used for respect, brahmins will know it since it is used
in the abhivadaye.
Ika is a aatmanepadi verb meaning 'to be'.
ike ikaavahe ikaamahe
Ikase ikethe ikadhve
ikate ikete ikante
are its forms.
This was a popular form of greeting in ancient India, before the Mughals
came and prohibited this greeting, for reasons unknown.
However some enterprising locals continued to use this greeting.
Therefore, to assassinate this greeting morally, the mughals gave it
vulgar
connotations, and those are alive even know.
It is time we revived our ancient indian traditions.......

meaning
