Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryApakiritūna, at Th.2, 447 T (reading of C. is abhi°) is explained ThA.271 to mean apakiritvā chaḍḍetvā throwing away, slighting, offending. The correct etym = Sk. avakirati (ava + kṛ2 to strew, cast out) in sense “to cast off, reject”, to which also belongs kirāta in meaning “cast off” i. e. man of a so-called low tribe. See also avakirati 2. (Page 50)
