สำเร็จ
Thai
Alternative forms
- สำเรจ์ — archaic, obsolete or dated
Etymology
From Samāhita (समाहित) Finished; Accomplished, etc. (or Pali samāhita: settled; composed; collected of mind.) Perhaps through Old Khmer saṃreca (“to come to an end; to bring to an end; etc”), an extended form of sreca (“ended, done; ready, prepared; etc”), from which Thai เสร็จ (sèt) was derived. Cognate with Modern Khmer សំរេច (sɑmrɨc).
