Explanation: This is not a complete word but a prefix, 'para-', commonly found in Koine Greek. It indicates proximity, deviation, or opposition. When combined with other words, it modifies their meaning to suggest being alongside, beyond, or contrary to something. For example, 'paraphysis' means 'a side growth' (from 'para' + 'physis' meaning 'growth'), 'paraphora' means 'a deviation' (from 'para' + 'phero' meaning 'to carry'), and 'paraphron' means 'out of one's mind' (from 'para' + 'phren' meaning 'mind').
