Khmer[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old Khmer កំវង៑ (kaṃvaṅ, “shelving ground: shallow place (in a river), shoal; beach, bank, shore; crossing place, ford; landing place, landing, wharf; river port; that which rises or is high; one who is tall or big-bellied”). The form is explained as an infixed /‑əɴ‑/ form of ក្វង៑ (kvaṅ, “bulge; swell”), ultimately a derivation of វង៑ (vaṅ, “swell; rise”). Relationship to Malay kampung is considered coincidental.[1]
Synchronically, derived from ខ្ពង់ (khpŭəng, “ridge of a hill or mountain, shoulder of a hill, rise, eminence”) with infixed -VN-, ultimately from ពង់ (pŭəng).
