Etymology

From Old Khmer ស្នោង (snoṅa), ស្នង (snaṅa), ស្នង៑ (snaṅ), ស្នោង៑ (snoṅ, exchange; reimbursement; repayment; replacement; representation; substitution; etc); extended forms of សង (saṅa), សោង៑ (soṅ), សង៑ (saṅ, to give back; to pay back; to replace; to return; to substitute; etc).

Further extended as សំនោង៑ (saṃnoṅ), សំនង៑ (saṃnaṅ, compensation; reimbursement; repayment; etc), from which Thai สำนอง was derived.

Compare Modern Khmer ស្នង (snɑɑng), សង (sɑɑng), សំណង (sɑmnɔɔng).
