คณบดี
Thai edit
Etymology edit
From Sanskrit गणपति (gaṇapati, literally “chief of a group”), from गण (gaṇa, “group”) + पति (pati, “chief; lord; master”); equivalent to Thai คณ (ká-ná-, “group, body; higher education faculty; etc”) + บดี (bɔɔ-dii, “chief; lord; master; leader; commander; etc”). Cognate with Old Khmer gaṇapati (“an epithet of the god Gaṇeśa or Śiva”).
