The word paradise is derived from the Avestan word of pairidaeza (a walled enclosure), which is a compound of pairi- (around), a cognate of the Greek peri-, and -diz (to create, make). Sources as early as Xenophon in his Anabasis report the famed Persian "paradise" garden. The form of the word that is now understood as "heaven" or "something immensely pleasurable" is derived from the Greek paradeisos used in the Septuagint to mean the Garden of Eden. In the New Testament paradise meant Heaven.
