Etymology

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”).
