Etymology

The basic meaning is “grouping” or “gathering together”, as seen in its derivatives. Compare Khmer កំពែង (kɑmpɛɛng, “fortress wall, rampart; fence, stone wall; fortress, fortification; precinct, enclosure”), which is from Old Khmer kaṃveṅ (“enclosing wall, rampart”); as well as Khmer កំពង់ (kɑmpŭəng, “port, landing; river town; waterfront”), which is from Old Khmer kaṃvaṅ (“shelving ground: shallow place (in a river), shoal; beach, bank, shore; crossing place, ford; landing place, landing, wharf; river port; that which rises or is high; one who is tall or big-bellied”), which was ultimately derived from Cham [script needed] (kampong, “village”). Also compare Thai กำแพง (gam-pɛɛng, “wall (surrounding a town, a temple)”), Lao ກຳແພງ (kam phǣng, “wall of a city, rampart”).
