Built from
From Sanskrit वाट (vāṭa, “enclosure”), possibly via Old Khmer វត្ត (vatta), វត (vata), វ័ត (vâta), វត្យ (vatya), វត្រ (vatra), វត្ថ (vattha), -វាត (°vāta, “Buddhist temple compound; monastery”). Possibly related to Old Khmer វត្ត៑ (“to encircle; to enclose > enceinte”). Cognate with Modern Khmer វត្ត (voat); Lao ວັດ (wat); Lü ᦞᧆ (vad); Shan ဝတ်ႉ (wâ̰t). From Old Khmer *vas, vas, vās, *vās (“to measure the circumference of land”). Cognate with Modern Khmer វាស់ (vŏəh). Probably from Old Khmer vatta, Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer vatt, hvat, or Angkorian Old Khmer vatt, vatta, vāt, vātt, vvat, hvat, hvatt, vādya (“to move in a circle, to go round, to turn, to rotate, to revolve, to gyrate; to move or occur in turn; to go around, to make a tour; to encircle, to surround; etc”); or from Old Khmer *vas, vas, vās, *vās (“to curve around; to sweep; to traverse”). Cognate with Modern Khmer វាត់ (vŏət), វាស (viəh), extended as គ្រវាស (krɔɔviəh), from which Thai กระหวัด (grà-wàt) was derived.
