เวทมนตร์

Thai

Etymology

From เวท (wêet, Veda; sacred knowledge; secret knowledge; etc) + มนตร์ (mon, mantra); ultimately from Sanskrit वेद (veda, sacred knowledge; true knowledge; etc) + मन्त्र (mantra, mantra), probably via Old Khmer veda (Veda; sacred knowledge) + mantra (mantra). Compare Modern Khmer វេទមន្ត (veet mŭən).
