'amreeta' originates from Sanskrit, specifically the word 'amṛta', where 'a-' meant 'not' and 'mṛta' meant 'dead'.

'amṛta' transformed into the Hindi word 'amrit', and eventually became the modern English word 'amreeta'.

Initially, it meant 'immortal' or 'not dead', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a drink that grants immortality'.
