Etymology

Borrowed from Pali karuṇā (“compassion; pity”) or Sanskrit करुणा (karuṇā); perhaps via Old Khmer ករុណា (karuṇā), ករុនា (karunā), កុរណា (kuraṇā), កុណ៌្នា (kurṇnā), កូណ៌ា (kūrṇā), កុណ្នា (kuṇnā), កូណ៌្នា (kūrṇnā, “compassion, mercy, clemency; royal favour, kindness, or grace; royal command; etc”). Cognate with Modern Khmer ករុណា (kɑɑrunaa), Old Javanese karuṇā, Lao ກະລຸນາ (ka lu nā).
