Etymology: < French parapente (1986) < para- (in parachute parachute n.; compare para- comb. form¹) + pente slope (see pent n.²).

1987 Sunday Tel. 28 June (Colour Suppl.) 32/1 Never mind the babble over what to call the thing. A parapente rhymes with ‘la plume de ma tante’ and is the same as a British paraglider. It's the fertile hybrid of a parachute and a hang-glider. But unlike hang-gliding, the parapente demands little physical strength and only a modicum of daring... Parapente is so new as a sport in Europe that no official rules have yet evolved for competition.

1995 Independent on Sunday 13 Aug. (Review Suppl.) 51/1 The same warning applies to parapente, the Alpine version of paragliding.
