Built from
Uncertain. Perhaps from an extension of Old Khmer sgāla, sgãla, sgal (“to know, be acquainted or familiar with”), corresponding to Modern Khmer ស្គាល់ (skŏəl). Compare Modern Khmer សំគាល់ (sɑmkŏəl), សម្គាល់ (sɑɑsɑmkŏəl, “to notice, to take note of; to distinguish, to recognise; mark, sign; etc”). Reborrowed by Modern Khmer as សំខាន់ (sɑmkhan, “important; excellent, magnificent; remarkable; exemplary, model; etc”). Compare also Lao ສຳຄັນ (sam khan).
