The word root naut in juggernaut means?

The word root "naut" in "juggernaut" is actually "natha".

"Juggernaut" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Jagannatha", which can be broken down as follows:

* Jagan (जगन्) - meaning "world" or "universe"

* natha (नाथ) - meaning "lord" or "master"

Therefore, "Jagannatha" translates to "Lord of the Universe".

The word "juggernaut" refers to a large, powerful, and unstoppable force, often used to describe something that is overwhelming and difficult to resist. This is likely due to the association with the chariot procession of the deity Jagannatha in Hindu mythology.
