Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French parasol.

Etymology: < French parasol portable fabric object which one uses for protection from the sun and possibly from rain (end of the 16th cent. in Middle French; 1611 or earlier in figurative use; 1540 in plural denoting a canopy erected on the stern of a galley to shelter the officers from the sun), probably (although attested earlier) < Italian parasole sun-umbrella (a1597; probably 1292 in a Latin source) < para- para- prefix² + sole sun (see sol n.¹). N.E.D. (1904) also gives the pronunciation (pæ:răsō^u·l) /ˌpærəˈsəʊl/. This pattern of stress on the final syllable is also found in Perry (1805), Smart (1857), and as an option in the first edition of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. (1917) until 1988.
