I know that it means "wake up" but what language does it originate from? And what does it look like in its original script? Does it appear in Pali scripture?

Yes, it's Pali. Usually translated as "awakened".
For example:

For example:
Araham samma-sambuddho bhagava.
The Blessed One is Worthy & Rightly Self-awakened.

Interesting is that the word 'Buddha' is similar to Slovenian word 'budni' or 'buden', which means 'awaken'. ("Jaz sem budni", "I am awake")

The experts do not say that one is a sage in this world because of view, or learning, or knowledge, Nanda.
I call them sages who wander without association, without affliction, without desire.

Buddho is Sanskrit/Pali; it is a masculine noun in the nominative case.PsychedelicSunSet wrote:I know that it means "wake up" but what language does it originate from? And what does it look like in its original script? Does it appear in Pali scripture?

There is no "original script." The words of the Buddha were handed down Orally for hundreds of years until they were first written down in Sri Lanka, presumably using an ancient form of the Sinhala script. There are some ancient inscriptions in Brahmi script. In Burma they write Pāḷi in Myanmar script, in the West we use Roman script. In India, they use Devanagari script.PsychedelicSunSet wrote:And what does it look like in its original script?

I almost fell off my chair in my first lesson in Polish when the teacher put an alarm clock on my desk and said: "This is a budzik"!
