rare unperson
2historical A member of an indigenous people of southern India originally functioning as ceremonial drummers but later having a low caste.

Origin

Early 17th century: from Tamil paṛaiyar, plural of paṛaiyan '(hereditary) drummer', from paṛai 'a drum'.

This comes from the southern Indian languages Tamil and Malayalam, and literally means ‘hereditary drummer’ from the word meaning ‘large drum’. The original pariahs were a people in southern India who acted as sorcerers and ceremonial drummers and also as labourers and servants. They were a tribal people outside the traditional Hindu caste system, and came to be regarded as ‘untouchables’ who did all the insanitary jobs. From there the sense ‘a social outcast’ developed in the early 19th century.
