Inherited from Old Hindi चारि (cāri), from Prakrit *𑀘𑀬𑀸𑀭𑀺 (*cayāri), an alteration of attested Prakrit 𑀘𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀭𑀺 (cattari), from Sanskrit चत्वारि (catvā́ri), चत्वारः (catvā́raḥ), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *ćatwā́ras, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *čatwā́ras, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷetwóres. Cognate with Gujarati ચાર (cār), Konkani चार (cār), Marathi चार (cār), Nepali चार (cār). The alteration in Prakrit was probably based off the Sanskrit accusative चतुरः (caturaḥ) without a consonant cluster where intervocalic t > y is expected, but could also be an abnormal numeral phonological development. Cognate with Gujarati ચાર (cār), Konkani चार (cār), Marathi चार (cār), Nepali चार (cār), and distantly English four.
