===Etymology===
{{bor+|en|hi|तबाशीर}}, which in turn either inherited from {{der|en|pra-sau|-}} (less likely, due to the presence of ''ś'', instead of ''s''/''kh'' in the term) or borrowed from {{der|en|fa-cls|تباشیر|tr=tabāšīr|t=chalk, clay, plaster; sugar from bamboo, tabasheer}} (more likely), ultimately {{der+|en|sa|तवक्षीर|t=white substance from bamboo, tabasheer|lit=bark milk|
