解説 Definition
Paris は、フランスの首都であるパリを指す地名です。英語では本来 Paris と大文字で書く固有名詞ですが、ここでは見出し語の表記に合わせています。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
見出しは paris ですが、都市名なので通常は Paris と大文字で書き、英語では /ˈpærɪs/ と発音します。France の capital、live in Paris、a train to Paris のように、国・前置詞・交通表現と結び付けましょう。paradise とは響きが少し似ても、語源も意味も無関係です。
Although this entry is written as paris, the city’s name normally begins with a capital letter: Paris. In English it is pronounced /ˈpærɪs/, not in the usual modern French way. Anchor it to the phrase Paris, the capital of France, and picture traveling there by train, visiting its museums, or living beside the River Seine. Useful patterns include live in Paris, travel to Paris, and museums in Paris. Do not connect Paris historically with paradise: the words may look and sound somewhat similar, but their origins and meanings are unrelated.

paris の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ケルト系ガリア部族パリシイ族（Parisii）の名に由来する。部族名の語源は諸説あり、ケルト語の parisio（働く者）説が有力。ローマ時代に Lutetia Parisiorum（パリシイ族のルテティア）と呼ばれ、後に Paris だけが残った。Paradise（楽園）とは無関係だが響きの美しさで愛される都市名。
The name Paris comes from the Parisii, a Gaulish people who inhabited the region before and during the Roman period. The settlement was known in Latin as Lutetia Parisiorum, roughly identifying Lutetia with the Parisii, and the tribal name eventually replaced the older city name. The deeper origin and meaning of Parisii remain uncertain, so proposed Celtic interpretations should be treated cautiously. Paris has no etymological connection with the English word paradise.
