Sanskrit Mātṛ (मातृ) "mother"
also, "mother-goddesses, divine mother", as well as:
Mātṛ (मातृ) refers to the “cognizing subject”, according to Abhinava’s Tantrāloka verse 3.125-126.—Accordingly, “The cognizing subject (mātṛ) is a state of consciousness independent of the consonance of the instrumental means (upāya of knowledge) such as the object of knowledge and the rest (and is self-established in the immediacy of the awareness that:) ‘I am’ (and so latently containing within itself all knowledge) is the knower (jñātṛ) like one who knows the scriptures (but having no desire to explain them remains silent).” [Manthanabhairavatantram]
Mātrī (मात्री), adjective f. (to m. *mātra, from Sanskrit mātṛ + a?), "of the mother, maternal"
late 14th century, matris, matrice, "uterus, womb"
from Latin mātrix (genitive mātricis) "female animal kept for breeding; register, list"
in Late Latin "womb," also "source, origin"
māter (genitive mātris) "mother" + -trix (with haplology)
-trix fem. agential suffix, from Latin, corresponding to masc. -tor; from Proto-Indo-European *-trih, cognate with the Sanskrit suffix -त्री (-trī)
In the 21st century, there are attempts to remove the word mother from the dictionary, replacing it with "gestational" or "birthing person", which can, in further consequence, easily replace the human being all together.
In the 16th century, the word matrix was successfully obfuscated to, first, mean additional things as to, eventually, primarily mean something else entirely, no longer having anything to do with the uterus and the womb. (See Conventional Dictionary Entries)
