From Proto-Iranian, from Proto-Indo-Iranian. Cognate with Sogdian [script needed] (prγrs’y /⁠parγarsē⁠/, round, oval), Sanskrit प्रकार (prakāra, sort, kind, form, nature, way, mode, manner). The first element is from Proto-Iranian *pari- (around), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *per- (before, front).
