พระราชกฤษฎีกา

Thai

Etymology

พระราช (prá-râat-chá-, prefix for royal persons and things relating to them, literally divine and royal) + กฤษฎีกา (grìt-sà-dii-gaa, agreement, pact; regulation, rule; etc). Compare Khmer ព្រះរាជក្រឹត្យ (prĕəhriəckrətyɔɔ).

The first sense was probably first used on 10 December 1932, when the first constitution of Thailand was enacted.
