Built from

sam — prefix · together, completely
Brings carefulness into full, unified focus; cognate with English 'same' and Latin similis, originally meaning 'to bring together'.
kacca — stem · care, heed
A noun or adjective stem denoting attentiveness and carefulness; forms the base of the adverbial compound.

Analysis. sam + kacca, 'with care/carefulness'; the prefix saṁ- (together, completely) intensifies kacca (carefulness, heed), forming an adverbial expression of thoroughness and respect.

Etymology. From saṁ- (together, completely; cognate with English 'same', Latin similis) + kacca (care, heed), a root meaning 'to be careful or attentive'. The compound sense 'with complete care' develops into the adverbial sense of doing something with full attention and respect, characteristic of monastic conduct.
