"ผีเสื้อ" meaning in Thai

See ผีเสื้อ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pʰiː˩˩˦.sɯa̯˥˩/ [standard] Forms: pǐi-sʉ̂ʉa [romanization]
Etymology: From ผี (pǐi, “spirit”) + เสื้อ (sʉ̂ʉa, “tutelar”). As for the second sense, the insects got their name due to the old belief that they embody ancestral or tutelar spirits. As for the third sense, the fish got their name probably due to their appearance or colours that look like butterflies.
