อุปัชฌา

Thai

Etymology

Perhaps from Old Khmer oppachā (“teacher, master, pedagogue”); ultimately from Pali upajjhāya (“spiritual teacher; spiritual preceptor”, literally “one who is gone close up to”). Compare Sanskrit उपाध्याय (upādhyāya), from which Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer upādhyāya and upāddhyāya were from.
