The word "paradise" originates from the Old Persian "pairidaeza," meaning an enclosed park or garden, which was adapted into Greek as "paradeisos" to describe the Garden of Eden in biblical texts. Over time, through translations and cultural interpretations, it evolved to signify not just a physical garden but also a spiritual or heavenly realm, particularly in Christian contexts. Today, "paradise" is broadly used to describe any place or state of ideal beauty, happiness, or perfection, transcending its original botanical meaning to embody an ultimate utopian ideal.
