The most updated dictionary on Upasaraga and Dhatu is by Charudeva Shastri  "Upasargarthacandrika" in 5 volumes , Author doesn't list "apavyaya" word in it.

The "classical" apavyaya- seems to hark back to the root vyā/vī [PW/pw = MW/Apte "vye"] + prefix apa, not to "vyay/vyaya" as ultimately derived from the root i.
This is why Graßmann/PW/pw/MW relate the prefix apa exclusively to vyā/vī/vye, but never to "vyay". See also Ch. Werbas "Verba Indoarica", pp. 411 f.

Usage of apa + vyā/vye is already attested in the Rigveda, semantically perhaps still somewhat remote, yet not absolutely distant from the meaning it acquires in the classical period:

RV 6.75.7d    ánapavyayantaḥ

RV 7.81.1c    ápo máhi vyayati cákṣase támo

Dear Dan,

     Thanks for these two references to apavyayamāna in old texts.  I just checked Kangle's translation of the Arthaśāstra passage and he translates this as "if the officer denies all charges."  I did find the ManuS, 8, 51.1 arthe 'pavyayamānaṃ tu karaṇena vibhāvitam / in Patrick Olivelle's critical edition, with numerous alternative readings.  I don't have his translation at hand, but Buhler translates this as "But him who denies a debt which is proved by good evidence."  So it looks like in both passages, the meaning of apavyayamāna is something like "one who denies charges."  This is very different from the meaning of apavyaya as wasteful or improper use of money or time which it has in modern languages like Marathi, and which some of the Sanskrit dictionaries are reporting without a citation from a classical text.  Some of these expressions are re-entering Sanskrit in the modern usage of Sanskrit in meanings these expressions have in modern languages.

Not sure how significant this is, but the online Digital Corpus of Sanskrit gives two fairly early occasions - one in Arthaśāstra and the other in Manusmṛti.

Thanks, Roland, for these references.  While vyaya is a common usage going back to old classical texts, the particular formation of apavyaya is a relatively newer formation.  It is more common in modern languages, and probably entered into Sanskrit dictionaries through the usage of some Pandits who were the source for western scholars.  That is my best guess.
