Pari°, (indecl.) (Idg. *peri to verbal root *per, denoting completion of a forward movement (as in Sk. pṛ2, piparti. to bring across, promote; cp. Vedic pṛc to satisfy, pṛṇāti to fill, fulfill. See also P. para). Cp. Vedic pari, Av. pairi, Gr. pέri, Lat. per (also in adj. per-magnus very great); Obulg. pariy round about, Lith. per̃ through, Oir er- (intensifying prefix), Goth. faír, Ohg. fir, far=Ger. ver-) prefix, signifying (lit.) around, round about; (fig.) all round, i.e. completely, altogether. The use as prep. (with Acc. =against, w. Abl. =from) has entirely disappeared in Pāli (but see below 1a). As adv. “all round” it is only found at J. VI, 198 (parī metri causa; combined with samantato). ‹-› The composition form before vowels is pariy°, which in combination with ud and upa undergoes metathesis, scil. payir°. Frequent combinations with other preps. are pari +ā (pariyā°) and pari+ava (pariyo°); sampari°. Close affinities of p. are the preps. adhi (cp. ajjhesati› pariyesati, ajjhogāhati›pariyogāhati) and abhi (cp. abhirādheti›paritoseti, abhitāpa›paritāpa, abhipīḷita›pari°, abhipūreti›pari°, abhirakkhati›pari°), cp. also its relation to ā in var. combinations.—Meanings. 1.

Abl. : ) °kaḍḍhati to draw over, seduce, °cheda cutting off, restriction, °puñchati wipe off.—(b) all round, round (explained by samantato, e.g. at Vism. 271 in pallaṅka): °anta surrounded, °esati search round, °kiṇṇa covered all round (i.e. completely, cp. explanation as “samantato ākiṇṇa”), °carati move round, °jana surrounding people, °dhāvati run about, °dhovati wash all round, °paleti watch all round, fig. guard carefully, °bhamati roam about, °maṇḍala circular (round), °sā assembly (lit. sitting round, of sad).—2.

On its relation to Sk. pariṣ see parikkhāra. A frequently occurring dialectical variant of pari° is pali° (q. v.).—Note. The explanation of P. Commentators as regards pari is “pariggahaṭṭho” Ps.
