Where this word comes from

From Malay saudara, from Sanskrit सोदर (sodara, “brother from the same womb”), सउदर (saüdara), स- (sa-, “having the same”) + उदर (udara, “uterus”); or Sanskrit सहोदर (sahodara). The theory that this form is derived from sedarah is false. The स- (sa-) suffix is false cognate with se- or esa. Displaced native kabang, a blend of kakak (“older sister”) + abang (“older brother”).
