Where does “baht” come from?
I notice the chain provided appears to have errors or inconsistencies (it includes "English but," "Latin pater," and "Proto-Indo-European" terms that don't relate to "baht," and repeats "English pandemic" and "Ancient Greek δῆμος").
I cannot write an accurate etymology sentence for "baht" based on this chain, as it doesn't support the headword. Baht is actually the Thai currency, which etymologically derives from a Sanskrit/Pali term for weight.
Could you provide the correct etymological chain for "baht"? I'm ready to write the sentence once I have accurate source material.
