Where it comes from

1780, ultimately from Tundra Nenets парка (parka), via Aleut parka and Russian па́рка (párka). Perhaps from Proto-Uralic; see dialectal Finnish parka (“rag, swaddling clothes”), which may be a cognate from Proto-Uralic, or an early borrowing from another Uralic language.

noun parkas · parkee · parki

A long jacket with a hood which protects the wearer against rain and wind. Basir tended to wear a beige suede parka over his shalwar kameez.
