จำบัง

Thai

Etymology

From Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer caṃpaṅ or Old Khmer caṃpāṅ (“act of fighting, especially in armed conflict: combat, battle, etc; (conjecturally) one who fights: combatant, warrior, etc”); being extended forms of chpaṅ, chpāṅ (“to defend, to protect; to engage in armed conflict or physical combat: to fight, to contend, to join battle, etc”), from which Thai ฉบัง was derived; ultimately being extended forms of paṅ, pāṅ, *paṅ, pāṃṅa (“to cover (from view); to hide; to screen; to conceal; etc”), from which Thai บัง (bang) was derived.

Cognate with Modern Khmer ចំបាំង (cɑmbang), ចម្បាំង (cɑmbang).
