พระราชกำหนด

Thai

Etymology

พระราช (prefix for royal persons and things relating to them, literally divine and royal) + กำหนด (gam-nòt, determination; command, decree, edict; requirement; etc). Compare Khmer ព្រះរាជកំណត់ (preăhréachkâmnât).

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