Etymology

From Angkorian Old Khmer pandūl, pandul (“royal command; royal utterance; to issue a royal command; to speak to (a subject); etc”, literally “to cause to hear or receive with humility”), perhaps an extended form of *pdūl (“to carry, place, raise, or wear on the head”). Compare Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer paṃdul; Angkorian Old Khmer pandval; Modern Khmer បន្ទូល (bɑntuul), ផ្ទូល (phtuul), ផ្ទុល (phtul), ផ្ទុរ (phtuʼ).
