wat
A wat ((タイ語:วัด) ''wat'' (ラーオ語:ວັດ) ''vad'', (クメール語:វត្ត) ''wōat'') is a monastery-temple in Thailand, Cambodia or Laos. The term is borrowed from pali ''vatta'' "which goes on or is customary, i. e. duty, service, custom, function".〔http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.3:1:993.pali.753563 The Pali Text Society's Pali-English dictionary〕
== Introduction ==
Strictly speaking a ''wat'' is a Buddhist sacred precinct with a vihara (quarters for bhikkhus), a temple, an edifice housing a large image of Buddha and a structure for lessons. A site without a minimum of three resident ''bhikkhu''s cannot correctly be described as a wat although the term is frequently used more loosely, even for ruins of ancient temples. As a transitive or intransitive verb, ''wat'' means to measure, to take measurements; compare ''templum'', from which ''temple'' derives, having the same root as ''template''.
In everyday language in Thailand, a wat is any place of worship except a mosque (Thai ''surao'' or masjid; a mosque may also be described as - ''bot khong itsalam'', literally "Islam church") or a synagogue (Thai - ''surao yiw''). Thus a ''wat chin'' is a Chinese temple (either Buddhist or Taoist), ''wat khaek'' is a Hindu temple and ''wat khrit'' or ''wat farang'' is a Christian church, though Thai ( ''bot'') may be used descriptively as with mosques.
In Cambodia, a wat is used to refer to all kinds of places of worship. Technically, wat generally refers to a Buddhist place of worship, but the technical term is ''wat putthasasana''. A Christian church can be referred as ''vihear Yesaou'' or "Jesus ''vihear''". Angkor Wat means "city of temples".
