Etymology
From Pali paripāla, from pari (“around; about”) + pāla (“controller; administrator; governor; defender; etc”); or from Sanskrit परिपाल (paripāla), from परि (pari, idem) + पाल (pāla, idem); perhaps via Old Khmer paripāla (“to guard, protect, or defend; to keep, maintain, or foster; guarding, protecting, or defending; keeping, maintaining, or fostering; etc”); equivalent to Thai บริ (brì) + บาล (baan). Cognate with Modern Khmer បរិបាល (bɑɑrebaal).
