Kambojとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Borrowed from Hindi कम्बोज (kamboj, “Kamboj”) (Urdu کمبوہ‎ (“Kamboh”)), cognate to Punjabi ਕੰਬੋਜ (kamboj, “Kamboj”).

Toynbee^[1], Herzfeld and Walser^[2] and Chandra Chakraberty^[3] link it to or derive it from Cambyses and/or the region Kambysēnē.

H. C. Seth^[4] and others suggest that the word is a compound meaning "owners/rulers of [the region] Kam". H. W. Bailey analyzes the name "Kamboja" as Kam-bauja or Kan-bauja and considers the second part to be related to an Iranian root *baug- meaning "bend; free, loose, deliver, save; possess, rule", related to Sanskrit भुज् (bhuj, “use, possess; rule, govern”); Bailey interprets the first part of the compound as something related to Avestan ������‎ (kan, “to long, want”), Sanskrit काम (kāma, “desire, lust”), and the whole compound as "king [ruling] at will".^[5][6]

The Anthropological Survey of India suggests a long list of possible cognates, including Cambodia.^[7]
