Etymology edit

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]
