Etymology
Vedanta comes from the Sanskrit parts Veda ('knowledge') and anta ('end' or 'goal'), so it originally meant the 'end' or 'final teaching' of the Vedas. So Vedanta is the name for the Hindu school that studies that final wisdom — the idea that the individual self and the highest reality are one.
