สภา

Thai

Etymology

From Pali sabhā (assembly; congregation; convention; etc) or Sanskrit सभा (sabhā, assembly; meeting); possibly via Old Khmer *sabhā, sabhā (assembly, council; hall; court; court of justice; member of a court: justice, judge; etc). Cognate with Old Khmer subhā, sūbhā (court; court of justice; member of a court: justice, judge; etc), from which Thai สุภา (sù-paa, court; judge) was derived; and cognate with Modern Khmer សភា (saʾphiə).
