Definition
A variant or alternative spelling of chandoo; prepared opium suitable for smoking.
Etymology
An alternate transliteration of the Hindi chandu, reflecting the inconsistency in how 19th-century English writers romanized Hindi and Urdu words based on individual pronunciation and preference.
Kelly Says
The multiple spellings of chandui/chandoo show how English colonizers struggled to capture foreign sounds—different writers in different regions produced 'chandoo,' 'chandui,' 'chandu,' each convinced their spelling was correct.
