Thank you, Rajeshji
agree Narendra Upadhyaya (X) : Though प्रतिसाद occurs in Gujarati & Marathi, its a Sanskrit word as I indicated in my response - "Pratibhaav" to other responses. Pratibhaav differs to प्रतिसाद. Pratibhaav - response, is spontaneous & voluntary in nature, प्रतिसाद is 'called for'.

Response

प्रतिसाद शायद मराठी शब्द है जिसका अर्थ है response. दुर्भाग्यवश यह माइक्रोसॉफ्ट की मानक हिंदी ग्लॉसरी में एक अनुमोदित हिंदी शब्द है. मैंने उन्हे इसे प्रतिक्रिया या प्रत्युत्तर करने के लिए अनुरोध किया है. पर माइक्रोसॉफ्ट का हिंदी ग्लॉसरी अनुमोदक एक महाराष्ट्रीयन है और उसने बहुत से ऐसे शब्द घुसा दिए हैं.

कुछ उदाहरण माइक्रोसॉफ्ट की ग्लॉसरी से

agree Narendra Upadhyaya (X) : The word प्रतिसाद is made of 2 words having distinct meanings. The 2nd part of this word is साद, which means "give reply, respond to a question, reply to a call". The word प्रति means "towards". Thus we get प्रतिसाद, meaning 'respond back to something'.

reaction

The word प्रतिसाद (pratisAd) is not the original Hindi word. It is a Marathi word. Now it is being used in Hindi for 'response' for which Hindi word प्रतिक्रिया (pratikriya) is also there. This word प्रतिक्रिया (pratikriya) also means reaction. Hence, the translator has used or confused the word प्रतिसाद (pratisAd) for reaction.
Peer comment(s):

agree Narendra Upadhyaya (X) : The origin of the word प्रतिसाद is in Sanskrit. It is neither Marathi, Hindi nor a Gujarati word. Sanskrit is a 'Source language' for most of the Indian languages.

As my fellow linguists have already mentioned that the word orginated and widely used in Marathi and Gujarathi, as MS has opted it as a standard term, the appropriate equivalent in English is Response
