Etymology

The word kheer is derived from the Sanskrit word kshira (क्षीर), which means milk or a milk-based dish. Kheer is also the archaic name for sweet rice pudding. The word payasam used in South India for kheer originates from the Sanskrit term pāyasa (पायस), which means "milk" or a dish made from milk. This term evolved into various regional languages, including Malayalam (പായസം, pāyasaṁ), Telugu (పాయసం, pāyasaṁ), and Tamil (பாயசம், pāyacam).
