Etymology

From Old Khmer *jeñ (to meet; to join), which is extended as Old Khmer prajeñ (to meet; to confront; etc), from which Thai ประเชิญ (bprà-chəən) and เผชิญ (pà-chəən) are derived, and as Middle Khmer añjeñ (to seek to meet; to invite; to request formally; etc), from which Thai อัญเชิญ (an-chəən) is derived; or from aphaeresis of Middle Khmer ʼañjeñ (idem). Perhaps cognate with Lao ເຊີນ (sœ̄n), Khmer ជើញ (cəəñ). Compare Middle Chinese (MC dzjeng|tshjengX|dzjengH, “to request”).
