Vaṃśaghaṭikā is a Sanskrit compound consisting of the terms vaṃśa and ghaṭikā (घटिका).
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryVaṃśaghaṭikā (वंशघटिका).—(see ghaṭikā), bamboo-stick, as a kind of toy (rather than ‘game’, as Index and [Boehtlingk] Adden- dum): Divyāvadāna 475.19. It may have been used in a game; compare Pali vaṃsaṃ Dīghanikāya (Pali) i.6.13, commentary i.84.26 = veṇuṃ ussāpetvā kīḷanaṃ; indeed, the true translation may be stick used in (the game of) vaṃśa, instead of the above.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
