เกณฑ์
Thai
editEtymology
editFrom Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer *ken (“to levy, conscript, impress, recruit”), whence Modern Khmer កែន (kaen) ~ កេណ្ឌ (keendɔɔ, “to draft, to mobilise; requisition, commandeer, levy, muster”), which is augmented as កំណែន (kɑmnaen, “mobilization; reinforcement, recruiting; requisitioning; levy”).
Further etymology remains unclear despite the Indic spelling; perhaps ultimately a corruption of Pali kaṇḍa (“portion; chapter; section”), from Sanskrit काण्ड (kāṇḍa, “section; part; branch; division; etc.”). Cognate with Lao ເກນ (kēn).
