สนอง

From Old Khmer snoṅa, snaṅa, snaṅ, snoṅ (“exchange; reimbursement; repayment; replacement; representation; substitution; etc”); extended forms of saṅa, soṅ, saṅ (“to give back; to pay back; to replace; to return; to substitute; etc”).

Further extended as saṃnoṅ, saṃnaṅ (“compensation; reimbursement; repayment; etc”), from which Thai สำนอง was derived.
