Etymology

edit

From ศัลย (sǎn-lá-yá-, surgical, literally arrow; knife; spear; etc) +‎ กรรม (gam, act; activity; action; deed; etc); ultimately from Sanskrit शल्यकर्म (śalyakarma, operation, literally act of knife), from शल्य (śalya, arrow; knife; spear; etc) + कर्म (karma, act; activity; action; deed; etc). Compare Khmer សល្យកម្ម (salyĕəʼkam) and Lao ສັນລະຍະກຳ (san la nya kam) or ສັນຍະກຳ (san nya kam).
