Etymology
From 波羅蜜 (“paramita; perfection”), with the addition of the 艹 (“grass”) radical to indicate a plant.
The association between paramita and jackfruit may have resulted from the confusion of the two Sanskrit loanwords 波羅蜜 (MC puɑ lɑ miɪt̚, “paramita”) and 波那娑 (MC puɑ nɑ sɑ, “jackfruit”).
Pronunciation
Noun
菠蘿蜜
- jackfruit; breadfruit
