user19249: What does samudaya mean?  I'm seeing: "community", "arising", "the origin, or cause of suffering"
When I read samudaya on the wiki, I became uncertain.
Then somehow i read it as "ignorance together with dukkha", and somehow that made sense..(dependent origination?)
any verification?

user17097: Samudaya (in Sanskrit) in the context of Buddhism and dependent origination (paticcaya samutpada {Pali} pratitya-samutpada {Sanskrit}) literally connotes origination, arising.
"Community" is a contemporary meaning of the Hindi word samudaya, whose pronunciation also differs.
When the context is suffering, quite possibly one of the immediate follow up question for analysis in the buddhist context would be cause of suffering. In that and such context, samudaya can come to connote the cause of origin of suffering.
