Paradise is word of Persian origin ( Persian ?????, Pardìs) that is generally identified with the Garden of Eden or with Heaven. Originally meaning a walled garden or royal hunting grounds, the term entered Jewish (and eventually Christian) beliefs as a Greek translation for the Garden of Eden in the Septuagint. It is sometimes also identified with the bosom of Abraham, the abode of the righteous dead awaiting Judgment Day. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells a penitent criminal crucified alongside him that they will be together in paradise that day. The word "paradise" entered English from the French "paradis", inherited from the Latin "paradisus", which came from Greek pa?ade?s?? (royal garden).[1] The Greek word came from the Persian Avestan word "pairidaêza-" (an Eastern Old Iranian language) = "walled enclosure",[2] which is a compound of pairi- (= "around") (a cognate of Greek pe?? peri-) and -diz (= "to create, make"), a cognate of English "dough". An associated word is the Sanskrit word paradesha = "foreign country" or "supreme country" from Sanskrit para = "beyond" (Greek pe?a pera) and desha = "land, country". The word also entered Semitic languages Akkadian pardesu, Arabic firdaws (?????), Aramaic pardaysa (??????), and Hebrew pardes.
