From Pali māyā (“jugglery; magic, sorcery, witchcraft; illusion; vision; etc”) or Sanskrit माया (māyā, idem); possibly via Lua error in Module:parameters at line 159: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value mkh-okm is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF.. Cognate with Modern Khmer មាយា (miəyiə). Extended as Thai มารยา (maan-yaa, “pretence, acting; craft, cunning; etc”).
