"Kamboj" meaning in All languages combined

See Kamboj on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: Kambojs [plural], Kamboj [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Hindi कम्बोज (kamboj, “Kamboj”) (Urdu کمبوہ (“Kamboh”)), cognate to Punjabi ਕੰਬੋਜ (kamboj, “Kamboj”). Toynbee, Herzfeld and Walser and Chandra Chakraberty link it to or derive it from Cambyses and/or the region Kambysēnē. H. C. Seth and others suggest that the word is a compound meaning "owners/rulers of [the region] Kam". H. W. Bailey analyzes the name "Kamboja" as Kam-bauja or Kan-bauja and considers the second part to be related to an Iranian root *baug- meaning "bend; free, loose, deliver, save; possess, rule", related to Sanskrit भुज् (bhuj, “use, possess; rule, govern”); Bailey interprets the first part of the compound as something related to Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬥 (kan, “to long, want”), Sanskrit काम (kāma, “desire, lust”), and the whole compound as "king [ruling] at will". The Anthropological Survey of India suggests a long list of possible cognates, including Cambodia.
