From Tamil ?????? (pa?aiyar), from ?????? (pa?aiya?, “drummer”), from ??? (pa?ai, “drum”) or from Malayalam ???? (pa?ayar), from ???? (pa?ayan, “drummer”), from ?? (pa?a, “drum”). Parai in Tamil or Para in Malayalam refers to a type of large drum designed to announce the king’s notices to the public. The people who made a living using the parai were called paraiyar; in the caste-based society they were in the lower strata, hence the derisive paraiah and pariah. Now the term is used to describe an outcast in English.
