The etymology of the word "Sanskrit" looks disgusting. It practically does not exist. But from the Georgian language the word "samskrta", which is given to us as the source for "Sanskrit", is read perfectly.
The prefix "sa-" in addition to toponyms also forms various abstract concepts such as "sazamtro" or "satsivi". While the root "mskr-" is the easily recognizable Georgian "მწკრ-" (mtskr-) morpheme. A very literary one, denoting in the word მწკრივი "row", "line" (or, more simply, "letter"), which was even borrowed into English in the form of "screeve" (Latin "scribere" seems to be the same Georgian root too).
Thus, we come to the fact that "samskrta" (twisted into "Sanskrit") gives us an abstract noun "samskre", which, if we perceive it as Georgian "სამწკრე" (samtskre), represents "where it is arranged in a row". That is, "where it is written". The ending "-ta" is the Old Georgian genitive case.
Thus, we have a right to interpret "Sanskrit" as "written". Sanskrit was widespread precisely in Northern India, where we have no less than a hundred settlements that somehow ended up in Georgian surnames. In addition, in the north of India there is the state of Gurjarat, which we have already exhaustively interpreted from the Georgian point of view too.
