The word is used in connection with the detached first part of a compound word not followed immediately by a vowel; cf. अनिहतं अव्यवहितम् (anihataṃ avyavahitam) Uvvata on V. Pr. V. 30.
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: ManthanabhairavatantramNihita (निहित) refers to “that which is (visibly present) within (the mantras)”, according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The accomplished (form of the) Command is visibly present within the mantras (mantra-nihita) in the field of (vision) of the Siddhas. Thus, this is the lineage of the Siddhas characterized as that of the teacher and the god. The Śāmbhava awakening dawns by the descent of (his) Command (onto his disciple)”.
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.

Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaNihita (निहित) refers to “soaking seeds (in a mixture of flesh and fish water)”, as prescribed by certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Viśvavallabha-Vṛkṣāyurveda by Cakrapāṇi-Miśra (1580 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the principles of ancient Indian agriculture and horticulture.—Accordingly, “The seed of a ripened Mangifera indica should be placed in soaked (nihita) fish and flesh stock for seven days. It should then be dried well in the heat of the sun. Then it should be soaked in a mixture of milk, clarified butter and oil of Alangium salviifolium and sown. This produces a Solanum indicum tree that creates wonder in the world”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
