วิทยาลัย

Thai

Etymology

From วิทย (knowledge; science) + อาลัย (abode, house, residence; place; source); ultimately from Sanskrit विद्यालय (vidyālaya, academy; school), from विद्या (vidyā, knowledge; science) + आलय (ālaya, house; place). Cognate with Khmer វិទ្យាល័យ (vɨtyiəlɨy); Lao ວິທະຍາໄລ (wi tha nyā lai).
