"เหี้ย" meaning in Thai

See เหี้ย in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /hia̯˥˩/ [standard] Forms: hîia [romanization], ความเหี้ย [abstract-noun]
Etymology: Unknown. Compare Lao ເຫັ້ຽ (hīa), Tai Dón hể, Tày khı́a, and Nùng [Western] tɕhi:^(C1). As observed by Chamberlain (2022), Varanus salvator is a highly venerated creature in Siamese folk religion, so much so that the evocation of its name is regarded as taboo, hence the negative connotations. An earliest attestation of this can be found in a 1891 magazine from the reign of King Chulalongkorn, indicating that the term had been used negatively since at least the previous reign.
