Etymology

edit

From Sanskrit चक्रवाल (cakravāla, “mass, assemblage, multitude; circle; etc”), from चक्र (cakra, “wheel; ring; circle”) + वाल (vāla, “circle”); perhaps via Old Khmer °ចក្ក្រាវាឡ (°cakkrāvāła, “(1) mythical mountain range encircling the earth; (2) world, universe; (3) sphere; etc”); equivalent to Thai จักร (jàk) +‎ วาล (waal). Cognate with Burmese စကြဝဠာ (ca.kra.wa.la); Modern Khmer ចក្រវាល (cak viəl), ចក្កវាឡ (cɑɑkkɑɑviəl), Lao ຈັກກະວານ (chak ka wān).
