Etymology 1

[edit]

From Old Khmer tanmer (hike, march; journey or travel on foot), an extended form of ter (to go on foot; to march; to walk; etc), from which Thai เดิน (dəən) was derived. Cognate with Modern Khmer ដំណើរ (dɑmnaə).

Noun

[edit]

ดำเนิน (dam-nəən)

  1. (royal) (พระ~, พระราช~, ราช~) walk; walking; step; pedestrian movement.
Usage notes
[edit]
  • The royal noun can be made a royal verb by adding the royal auxiliary verb ทรง (song) before it. For example, ทรงพระดำเนิน (song prá-dam-nəən) means "to walk" (used of a royal person).
  • Despite this royal noun originally meaning "walking", the royal verb เสด็จพระราชดำเนิน (sà-dèt-prá-râat-chá-dam-nəən) means "to go, move, or travel (by whatever means)".
