Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryAticchati, (*Sk. ati-ṛcchati, ati + ṛ, cp. aṇṇava) to go on, only occurring in imper. aticchatha (bhante) “please go on, Sir”, asking a bhikkhu to seek alms elsewhere, thus refusing a gift in a civil way. (The interpretation given by Trenckner, as quoted by Childers, is from ati + ‘iṣ “go and beg further on”. (Tr. Notes 65) but this would entail a meaning like “desire in excess”, since iṣ does not convey the notion of movement) J. III, 462; DhA. IV, 98 (T. aticcha, vv. ll. °atha); VvA. 101; Miln. 8.—Caus. aticchāpeti to make go on, to ask to go further J. III, 462. ‹-› Cp. icchatā. (Page 19)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
