Etymology[edit]
From Sanskrit राजाभिषेक (rājābhiṣeka, literally “royal unction”), from राज (rāja, “royal”) + अभिषेक (abhiṣeka, “watering; consecration by watering”); perhaps via Old Khmer rājābhiṣeka (“royal unction”); equivalent to ราช (râat, “royal”) + อภิเษก (à-pí-sèek, “appointment, installment, or inauguration by pouring water upon for consecration, as by libation, anointment, bathing, etc”).
