Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Sanskrit कर्म (karma, “act, action, deed”), the nominative singular of कर्मन् (karman, “act, action, deed; work”), from कृ (kṛ, “to do, make”) + -मन् (-man, “action/result-forming noun suffix”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do, make”). The religious and philosophical sense developed from the idea of an action together with the consequences produced by that action. First attested before 1944. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk karma, Danish karma, Swedish karma, Icelandic karma, German Karma, Dutch karma and English karma.
