Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Doesn't seem to be attested in any etymological dictionaries. This almost seems like Proto-Indo-European *peri (“around”) + Proto-Iranian *was- (“to want, wish”), the latter from Proto-Indo-European *weḱ- (“to wish”) (but the final "s" is missing).”
