I will give it a shot although my bangla sucks. Prolly something to do with speed, may be it means either fast/quick/speedy.

I guess you want to know "Dhrubok"
Dhrubo in bangla means constant, used in mathematics.
Dhrubok is something that is dhrubo, something that is constant.

Yupe, its a constant (usually expressed as "k") in equations.
Example:
If a is proportional to b then
a = K * b
Dhrubotara on the other hand is a star.

Hmm... So, "Drubok" not "dhrubok" does not relate to speed in anyway? You know like how "druoto" = faster, oh well thats where my guess was from .

Dhrubo = (adj.) constant
Dhrubok = (noun) constant
Dhrubo tara = North Star. The star that stays at a constant position in the sky.

The word Dhrubok got nothing to do with the word Dhrubo.
Dhrubok(noun) is a term uses in Indian classical music which means a repeated recitation of a part of a song/music.
Dhrubo(noun) is a name of a star, also Dhrubo(adj) means constant, accurate, accute, universal etc.

dhrubo shotto = univarsal truth. something that does not change.
dhrubok = constant. that does ont change in a function or equation.
like F=ma, m is a constant (dhrubok).
i thinke they are related.

Actually the musical jargon Dhrubok does derive from the word Dhrubo. It is so named specifically because that part of the music is repeated (limited perpetuation).
Otherwise, it's the noun form of constant, as others mentioned. The confusion is due to the fact that 'dhrubo' itself is sometimes (mistakenly) used as a noun too.
And Dhrubo is not a name of a star, it is Dhrubotara as a whole, which is the star. Something like Bangladesh. Bangladesh as a whole is the name a 'desh' (country) and not just Bangla.
As for radicalsami, I guess you have mixed up Shuvro with Dhrubo.

You are right, the term Dhrubok is originated from the word Dhrubo. But one thing I can assure you is that in Bangla language the word Dhrubok itself got no other meaning but only represents a certain phonic part of music for repeated recitation. There are also other form of musical jargons in our Indian Ragas such as Bol, Loy, Taan, Meer, Dana, Shom, Goth etc...but hey, lets give a rest to our thalamus

Probably not in the dictionaries available in the market, since they are way too slow to keep up with the coloquy, and rather tend to remain 'Dhrubo' . But it's been used in mathematical arena for quite some time.

Yeah, talking about thalamus, we should rather get prepared for a GO in the coming days (and/or nights). and rather a hairy go, I would guess.
