In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarDeśya (देश्य).—(l) tad. affix in the sense of almost similar; see देशीयर् (deśīyar) above; (2) (words) current in popular use or language, although not sanctioned by rules of grammar; cf. देश्याः सूत्रनिबन्धाः क्रियन्ते (deśyāḥ sūtranibandhāḥ kriyante) M.Bh. on P. V. 3.55: cf. देश्या देष्टव्याः साधुत्वेन प्रतिपाद्याः (deśyā deṣṭavyāḥ sādhutvena pratipādyāḥ), Kaiyata on V. 3.55; probably Kaiyata had a difficulty in explaining the word देश्य (deśya) in the old way meaning ' current in use', as many words called bad words, introduced from other languages were current at his time which he was reluctant to term देश्य (deśya).
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramDeśya (देश्य) means that which is “taught”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—This body of Kuleśvara should be contemplated attentively, it should be listened to and taught (deśya). What else could be superior to that which is within him? (His body) is in the form of a seed-syllable (kūṭabhūta). As she (the goddess) is in the middle of that she is made crooked (kuṭilitā) and so she becomes divided into many Kulas. This is the will of the Supreme Goddess (Parameśvarī). Thus (says the god) you are called Kubjikā (the Crooked One), the Supreme (Parā) (goddess) within all things
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
