Etymology

[edit]

From Old Khmer mukkhamantri or mukamantriya (chief minister; prime minister); ultimately from Sanskrit मुख्यमन्त्रिन् (mukhyamantrin, chief minister; prime minister), from मुख्य (mukhya, chief; first; leading; principal; etc.) + मन्त्रिन् (mantrin, conjurer; enchanter; minister; sorcerer; etc.). Compare Modern Khmer មុខមន្ត្រី (mŭkhmôntrei, senior government official).
