Etymology
Inherited from Sanskrit परिवृत् (parivṛt, “to exchange, change, turn around”), a compound of परि- (pari-, “around”) + वृत् (vṛt, “to turn”). Within Sanskrit, the word परिवृत् (parivṛt) evolved multiple meanings, with the original meaning of "turning around" undergoing a semantic shift, becoming a word to mean change, before being used to mean the exchanging of items.
