Etymology from India
The etymology of the word pundit comes the original ancient Sanskrit word "Paá¹á¸ita" used in India at least since 200 B.C. to refer to a very learned man or scholar in the realm of Indian philosophy, Hinduism (the Vedas and Upanishads), Buddhism (the Dharma of the Sutras - Shastras), or the "Five Sciences". These five sciences include medicine (Ayurvedic medicine or cikitsÄvidyÄ), language (ÅabdavidyÄ), logic (hetuvidyÄ), arts - crafts (ÅilakarmasthÄnavidyÄ), and religion (adhyÄtmavidyÄ). An example is Sakya Pandita of Tibet.
