Etymology

Most likely derived from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀮𑀝𑁆 (*laṭ, “to swing, shake”) prefixed with परि- (pari-, “around”). Other possibilities include:

  • Derived from Sanskrit परिवर्तते (parivartate, “revolves, returns, turns around”) through parivaṭṭ- > *paliaṭṭ- > *palyaṭṭ- > *pallaṭṭ-. This would make it a doublet of 𑀧𑀭𑀺𑀯𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀇 (parivaṭṭaï).
  • Derived from the passive of Sanskrit पर्यटति (paryaṭati, “goes round”) through *paryaṭyati > *palyaṭṭaï > *pallaṭṭaï.
  • Derived from Sanskrit पर्यस्त (paryasta, “overturned”), making it a doublet of 𑀧𑀮𑁆𑀮𑀢𑁆𑀣 (pallattha, “overturned”), whence Marathi पालथणे (pālathṇe, “to turn over”).

Influence or merging from multiple sources is likely.
