Built from

Borrowed from Pali paccuppanna (“existing; present”, literally “what has arisen (just now)”), ultimately from Sanskrit प्रत्युत्पन्न (pratyutpanna, “idem”), whence Thai ปรัตยุตบัน (bpràt-dtà-yút-ban). Cognate with Khmer បច្ចុប្បន្ន (paccobɑn), Lao ປັດຈຸບັນ (pat chu ban), Burmese ပစ္စုပ္ပန် (paccuppan).
