The root of the word 'Seva' can be traced to the Dhatus,
* सेव्<ref name=":0">Shabda Sagara</ref>
* षेव् (सेवने, भ्वादिगण, आत्मने)<ref name=":0" />
* शेवृँ<ref>Dhatu Pradipa</ref>
all of which mean 'to serve'.<ref name=":0" />
The concept of Seva is also closely associated with dharma (सेवाधर्मः or the duty of service), livelihood (सेवावृत्तिः or a livelihood gained by service) and practice (सेवाव्यवहारः or the practice or law of service).<ref>Apte</ref>
The Indian Epigraphical Glossary notes the presence of the term 'seva' in tamizh epigraphs as 'sevai' and denotes the sense of 'service'. These epigraphs also talk about an 'inām' for services and tax-free land given to servants for enjoyment in lieu of salary.<ref>Indian Epigraphical Glossary</ref>
