[edit]Etymology
[edit]From วิทย (“knowledge; science”) + อาลัย (aa-lai, “abode, house, residence; place; source”); ultimately from Sanskrit विद्यालय (vidyālaya, “academy; school”), from विद्या (vidyā, “knowledge; science”) + आलय (ālaya, “house; place”). Cognate with Khmer វិទ្យាល័យ (vityiəlay); Lao ວິທະຍາໄລ (wi tha nyā lai).
