Etymology

Perixanjan derives from North-Western Middle Iranian *paritāv, from Iranian *pari-tāva- ‎(“rampart”), from *pari- ‎(“around”) and *tā̆v- ‎(“to throw; to heap up”). Compare պարիսպ ‎(parisp) for a similar formation. Compare also Persian پرتاب ‎(partâb), Tajik партов ‎(partov, “garbage, waste”), партофтан ‎(partoftan, “to throw”), the Armenian borrowing փարթավել ‎(pʿartʿavel, “to throw”), from *parā̆-tāva-.
