  Expresses completeness by going all around something. Cognate with Greek perí- (perimeter, perigee) and Latin per-.

Analysis. pari- (around, all the way round) + √yas (to complete, accomplish): completed all around, brought to full completion on all sides.

Etymology. pari- from the same Indo-European root as Greek perí (peri-) and Latin per-, expressing completeness by going all the way around; √yas is cognate with Latin iussus (ordered, commanded) from the sense of 'setting in place' or 'accomplishing'. The prefix pari- keeps its spatial imagery of 'all-around' inside the abstract sense of thorough completion.
