Built from

From Proto-Tai *swɯːnᴬ (“garden”). Compare Middle Chinese 園 (MC hjwon, “garden”). Cognate with Northern Thai ᩈ᩠ᩅᩁ, Lao ສວນ (sūan), Lü ᦷᦉᧃ (ṡon), Shan သူၼ် (sǔun), Ahom 𑜏𑜤𑜃𑜫 (sun), Zhuang suen. Cognate with Lao ສວນ (sūan). Borrowed from Old Khmer *ស្វរ៑ (*svar, “to ask; to question”), extended as សំន្វរ៑ (saṃnvar), whence Thai สำนวน (sǎm-nuuan). Cognate with Modern Khmer សួរ (suə). Borrowed from Pali savana (“listening”). Compare Sanskrit श्रवण (śravaṇa).
