Source: DDSA: The Molesworth Marathi and English Dictionarydutāḍā (दुताडा).—m (A contemptuous or depreciative formation from dūta Messenger.) Applied to a stern, rigorous, inexorable fellow sent to dun or make some demand; a rude and insisting messenger. See dhutāḍā Sig. II. The two words, although affirmed by some to be but two forms, are certainly of different origin, even of the origin respectively assigned; for this is never used in the sense given under that, and that but seldom, and then, under allowance, in the sense ascribed to this.
Marathi is an Indo-European language having over 70 million native speakers people in (predominantly) Maharashtra India. Marathi, like many other Indo-Aryan languages, evolved from early forms of Prakrit, which itself is a subset of Sanskrit, one of the most ancient languages of the world.
