From Middle Persian [script needed] (pʾlk' /⁠pārag⁠/, “piece, part, portion”), also meaning "gift, offering, bribe".

In the sense of "gift": from Proto-Iranian *pāraka (“gift, offering”), from *pāra- (“giving”) + *-ka (“suffix”), from Proto-Indo-European *perh₃- (“to give, provide”). Cognate with Sanskrit पॄ (pṝ, “to grant, bestow”), Ancient Greek ἔπορον (époron, “give, grant”), Old Irish ernaid (“to bestow, grant”).^[1]^[2]^[3]

In the sense of "piece": from Proto-Iranian *pāraka (“piece, part”), from Proto-Iranian *par- (“to separate, divide into parts”), from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to sell, exchange”), and cognate with Latin pars (“part, portion”).^[1]
