The origin of the word telugu or tenugu is rather obscure, and both forms seem
ancient. The most reasonable derivation, however, is from ten, " south," so that tenugu
would mean " southern "; and this may well have become corrupted into telugu, especially
as a popular etymology from teli, " bright," was ready to
hand.
