Etymology, meaning and origins — Namaste (Namas + te) is derived from Sanskrit and is a combination of the word namas and the second person dative pronoun in its enclitic form, te. The word namaḥ takes the sandhi form namas before the sound te. ... The phrase Namas-te appears with this meaning in Rigveda 8.75.
