ArchivesOther anagram of "Paradise" and an etymology.

- A despair

"Paradise" is derived from the Old Persian "pairidaeza" meaning "an enclosed park/orchard/playground". The word was adopted in Greek by Xenophon ("paradeisos") and kept the original meaning. The religious connotations came centuries later.
