Etymology

From Pali māyā (“jugglery; magic, sorcery, witchcraft; illusion; vision; etc”) or Sanskrit माया (māyā, idem); possibly via Old Khmer māya (“deception, fraud; unreality; pretence; illusion; etc”). Cognate with Modern Khmer មាយា (miəyiə). Extended as Thai มารยา (maan-yaa, “pretence, acting; craft, cunning; etc”).
