Etymology

[edit]

Semi-learned borrowing from Classical Persian نماز (namāz). The beginning ล- (l-) might have been contaminated by Arabic صَلَاة (ṣalāh). Related to Thai นมัสการ (ná-mát-sà-gaan), from Sanskrit नमस्कार (namaskāra, literally act of bowing), from नमस् (namas, bow) + कार (kāra, act; action).
