This is a list of English words of Sanskrit origin. Many of these words were not directly borrowed from Sanskrit. The meaning of some words has changed slightly after being borrowed. Both languages belong to the Indo-European Language Family and have numerous cognate terms. For example, English "mother" is a cognate of Sanskrit "mātár'; likewise, father-pitár, brother-bhrā́tar, sister-svásar, son-sūnú, daughter-duhitár, man-manu/manav, dental-dántam, nose-nas, cow-gáuḥ, plus many more.
