อัศจรรย์

Thai

Etymology

From Sanskrit आश्चर्य (āścarya, “astonishment; miracle; surprise”); probably via Angkorian Old Khmer ʼaścāryya (“marvel, wonder; marvellous, wondrous”). Cognate with Old Khmer iscāryya, isacāryya, isacaryya; Modern Khmer អស្ចារ្យ (ʾɑɑhcaayɔɔ); Lao ອັດສະຈັນ (’at sa chan). Compare Pali acchariya, from which Thai อัจฉริยะ was derived.
