Avishkar (आविष्कार) is Sanskrit āviṣkāra, made of āvis, "openly, before the eyes", and kāra, "making", so its literal sense is bringing something into view. Monier-Williams gives making visible and manifestation. In modern Hindi and Marathi āviṣkār has become the ordinary word for an invention or a discovery, and baby-name lists give the name in that sense, as "invention" or "discovery". That is a modern development of the older meaning rather than a different word.
