Sanskaar

Popular derivative resonances of the word Sanskrit that you may not have had a chance to be familiar with:

Sanskaar - value, as in family/cultural values, habits parents inculcate in children. Opposite is Ku-sanskaar

PraSanskaran - Increasingly used these days for processing or "value adding" natural products into marketable ones - Thus processed food would be "prasanskrit khaaddya"

Apa-Sanskriti - Opposite of Sanskriti, usually meaning "Culture/heritage/tradition etc" the word is often used to mean the consumerist-hedonistic influences of the west
