# 菠蘿蜜
## Chinese

* 菠蘿蜜

### 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 pa la mjit, “paramita”) and 波那娑 (MC pa na sa, “jackfruit”).
