Etymology

From Sanskrit परदेश (paradeśa, other country; foreign country; hostile country, literally other country), from पर (para, other) + देश (deśa, country; region; etc), equivalent to Thai บร (bɔɔn, different; other) +‎ เทศ (têet, country; region; locality; etc); perhaps via Pre-Angkorian Old Khmer or Angkorian Old Khmer paradeśa (foreign land; foreigner; to be foreign, to be from another land). Cognate with Modern Khmer បរទេស (bɑɑrĕəʼteih). Compare Pali paradesa; Old Khmer paradesa.
