The word 'करार' (karar) comes from the Sanskrit term 'कर्ण' (karṇa), meaning 'to listen or hear.' Historically, it evolved to denote a formal agreement or pact. Over time, it has been adopted into Marathi with a focus on legal and business contexts.
Used in both formal and informal registers, 'करार' is predominantly found in written texts pertaining to contracts and legal documents. It is commonly used across Maharashtra but is notably prevalent in legal jargon and business environments.
