===Alternative forms===

===Etymology===
From the root {{l|pi|gam|to go}}.  When used as the second element of an upapada tatpurusha, the vowel and final verbal roots ending in a nasal are reduced to their zero grade, /a/, which is then reinterpreted as the thematic vowel.

====Usage notes====
The adjective may be used in an absolute sense, thereby yielding a noun.  This suffix is not used as a free-standing adjective.

====Declension====

{{pi-decl-noun|g=n}}

====Derived terms====
Words using this suffix are listed in their own [[:Category:Pali terms suffixed with -in|category]].  Note that normally only the Latin script forms are listed, as etymology sections are normally restricted to the Latin script form.
