Built from
Borrowed from Middle Khmer ពិតាន (bitāna), ពីតាន (bītāna), ពិយតាន (biyatāna), ពីយតាន (bīyatāna), ពិទារ (bidāra), ព្ភិតាន (bbhitāna), ភីត្តាន (bhīttāna), វិតាណ (phtāna), វិតាន (vitāṇa, “protective cloth covering mounted on poles above a sacred person or object: canopy, awning”), from Angkorian Old Khmer vitāna (ibid.), from Pali vitāna (“canopy; awning”) or Sanskrit वितान (vitāna, “spreading out; expansion; extension; awning; canopy; etc”). Cognate with Modern Khmer ពិតាន (pitaan, “ceiling; canopy”), Lao ເພດານ (phē dān), ພິດານ (phi dān).
