Etymology

From Pali parihāra (“attention, care, protection; honour, privilege, dignity; etc”) or Sanskrit परिहार (parihāra, “reserve; objection; repetition (of a word); etc”); perhaps via Old Khmer parihāra, parihār, paribhāra (“to have charge (of); to manage; to administer; etc”). Cognate with Modern Khmer បរិហារ (bɑɑrihaa); Lao ບໍຣິຫານ (bǭ ri hān).
