Etymology

From Sanskrit नमस्कार (namaskāra, literally “act of bowing”), from नमस् (namas, “bow”) + कार (kāra, “act; action”); possibly via Old Khmer namaskāra (“to salute, to adore, to worship; salutation, adoration, worship”). Cognate with Lao ນະມັດສະການ (na mat sa kān), Northern Thai ᨶᨾᩔᨠᩣ᩠ᩁ, Khün ᨶᨾᩈᨠᩣ᩠ᩁ, Modern Khmer នមស្ការ (numskaa). Compare Pali namakkāra (whence นมักการ), and Persian نماز (namâz) (whence ละหมาด (lá-màat)).
