Marathi-English dictionary
Source: DDSA: The Molesworth Marathi and English Dictionaryligāḍa (लिगाड).—n (Perhaps from liṅga Sig. VII.) A perplexing affair or business, a difficulty, a trouble: also the state induced by it, a dilemma, strait, scrape, hobble, mess. 2 This is one of those numerous words occurring in all languages of which, as the etymon or original cannot be traced, the literal and exact sense cannot be fixed. All that the lexicographer can in such cases do, is to set down the popular acceptations or uses: and these of this word, although, from the more confined currency of the word itself, they are of less frequent occurrence, are faithfully one with those of lacāṇḍa, kacāṭha, jhaṭa, and countless similar formations; viz. Scheme, speculation, enterprise, wild project; a calumnious machination or invention; any embarrassing adventure or occurrence; any tortuous or devious device or doing.
