Bodhi means "awakened."
Citta comes from the Sanskrit root cit, and means "that which is conscious." This can be understood as your mind or your consciousness.
Bodhicitta may be translated as "awakened mind" or even "awakening mind."
Lama Surya Das says Bodhicitta may be seen as the mind that strives toward awakening and compassion for the benefit of all sentient beings.
