Etymology

From Pali siniddha (gluey, sticky; smooth, sleek; lovely, pretty; etc), ultimately from Sanskrit स्निग्ध (snigdha, idem), according to the Royal Institute Dictionary 2011; but more likely to be from Old Khmer ត្និត៑ (tnit, close; intimate) or from Sanskrit सनीड (sanīḍa, close; closely united or related; etc).

Compare Modern Khmer ស្និទ្ធ (snət, close, intimate; beloved, dear).
