Origin & History

From earlier English carp (“to find fault”), likely from Old Norse *karpa* (“to brag/taunt”), with later sense development toward fault-finding.

पुराने अंग्रेज़ी carp (“कमी निकालना/आलोचना करना”) से; संभवतः प्राचीन नॉर्स *karpa* (“डींग मारना/तानना”) से, बाद में अर्थ ‘नुक्ताचीनी’ की ओर विकसित हुआ।

Definition

Used to describe complaining in a critical, nagging way—often about small faults; also (archaic) ‘to say/tell’.

किसी छोटी-बड़ी कमी पर बार-बार, कुतर्कपूर्ण/नुक्ताचीनी ढंग से शिकायत करना; (पुराना/दुर्लभ) ‘कहना/बतलाना’ के अर्थ में भी।
