Inherited from Prakrit 𑀫𑀁𑀢 (maṃta)), an extension of Sanskrit मा (mā), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mā, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁. Cognate to Punjabi ਮਤ (mat).
मत (mat) is the imperative negation and it is only used with verbs which are in the imperative mood.
Compare the subjunctive negations न (na) and ना (nā) which are only used with verbs in subjunctive mood and the indicative negation नहीं (nahī̃) which is used with verbs in indicative mood.
Borrowed from Sanskrit मत (mata).
