Etymology 1

[edit]

From Middle Persian [script needed] (plyk' /⁠parīg⁠/, witch), ultimately from Old Persian *parikā. Compare Manichaean Middle Persian pryg (pryg), Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬐𐬁 (pairikā, sorceress, witch), Sogdian [script needed] (pṛʿyk-, female demoness) and Old Armenian պարիկ (parik), an Iranian borrowing. Connections that have been proposed include Middle Irish airech (concubine, wanton woman), and from Indo-European root *pelē- ‘to fill,’ Latin plēnus ‘full.’ Middle Persian parīg, Khotanese 𑀧𑀮𑀻𑀓𑀸 (palīkā), Latin parcae (fates), Ancient Greek Παλλάς (Pallás, youth, maiden), Sanskrit पारक्य (pārakya, strange, alien). Pokorny derives this from Proto-Indo-European *parīkā (concubine).
