ചേതം and നഷ്ടം are two common words used to denote loss or destruction. Both of them have their origins in Sanskrit.
നഷ്ടം is the noun form of നശതി, to destroy, to disappear. നശതി -> നഷ്ടം, just like വിശതി -> വിഷ്ടം.
ചേതം, though very native Malayalam-sounding, is a തത്ഭവം from ഛേദം which means split.
Do you know equivalent Tamizh origin words for ചേതം and നഷ്ടം?
(I can guess, കളഞ്ഞു പോവുക could be an equivalent of നഷ്ടമാവുക.)
