From Malay perigi, from Proto-Malayic *pərigi, from (Western) Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *paʀigi (artificially enclosed catchment for water; well, ditch).[1] Similarity with Tamil பரிகை (parikai, moat, ditch; mound within a rampart) and Sanskrit परिखा (parikhā, moat, ditch, trench or fosse round a town or fort) is coincidental.
