| comment | The meaning "person, human being" (not "man", "male person") is rarely mentioned in dictionaries. But it is presented in derivation, as in this example. So, the direction of derivaton being from "puruṣaṉ" to "puruṣamētam", the direction of semantic shift is opposite - from the "human" meaning in "puruṣamētam" to the meaning "husband" in "puruṣaṉ" | |
